Timeline

  1. After the first week of the term our processing time is about two business days. Requests are processed in the order in which they are received.
  2. To be sure material is ready for your students for the first week of class requests should be submitted two weeks before the beginning of the term.
  3. The Library will order new books and videos required for course reserves. Use the reserve order form. New orders usually require a six to eight weeks to acquire.
  4. Course materials are removed after each term. Personal materials are returned via campus mail. If the course is on-going or sequential contact the reserve unit before the end of the term so it will not be removed.
