The Houston Cole Library maintains a collection of course related, high-demand, high-risk, and librarian discretionary materials that are segregated, often temporarily, from the general collection and usually assigned restrictive loan periods so as to assure greater availability to library patrons, who may have need of the materials within a limited time period. The more information you have about the material the easier it is for the library staff to find the particular reserve item(s) that you need. You will need the professor's name, course number, and course title. See the Reserve section of the Houston Cole Library Policy and Procedures Manual for more information.
Instructors, please use our Request to Place Materials on Course Reserves Form when you need materials to be placed on reserves.
