Checking Out Course Reserves
In order to check out course reserves, please have a photo ID, preferably your BuckID.
The more information you have about your class, the better; department and number (eg. History 1100), the instructor’s last name, or the title of the item you are trying to check out.
Items typically check out for two hours at a time, but different library locations can have other time frames, from four hours all the way up to one week.
Fines
Materials on course reserve are meant to be shared by as many students as possible and typically check out for a shorter period of time to maximize their use. As such, they have fairly significant fines. The late fines for those items that check out by the hour are $5.00 for each hour per item and it is essential to return them on time. The late fines for materials checked out for a day or more and equipment either $5.00 or $10.00 for each additional period per item. These items must be returned to the location and desk they were checked out from to clear your account. Failure to do so will result in fines. Never return course reserve items to a book drop, and always hand them to library staff to avoid fines. If you incur a fine, you can appeal them using the following form.
