What are Reserve items?
We think of Reserve items as anything that can help your students. An item is provided by you, and the library houses the item for student use. Reserves are shelved in a separate area from the main collections.
Reserves can be your personal copy of an item or from the library’s collection. Browsing the library shelves and online catalog leads to discoveries - you may find just what you need. Personal copies/items owned by instructors will be labeled as such and returned to you when you specify. Copyright laws will be followed.

How are items put on Reserve?
We only need a minute or two of your time to verify your needs.
Bring any items to the library’s Circulation Desk and let staff know your preferences for student use (Example: make an item in-library use only, or loan it overnight, 2-day, etc.).
If you like, staff can talk with you about Reserves in more detail at any time.
Please allow 24 - 48 hours to process before student use.
We look forward to working with you and your students. Along with Reserves, the CF Citrus Campus Library also offers you and your students:
