Books on reserve or reference can only be used in the library. Only instructors may check them out and take them home.

Reserve books are generally textbooks and class materials that professors wish to make available for the whole class. Reserve materials are located behind the front circulation desk, so ask a staff member for assistance. They must be returned to the circulation desk by closing time.

Reference books are mainly encyclopedias and dictionaries, located on the low shelves in the back of the library for quick and open access.
