What is Reserves?
My professor told me that they have additional readings and/or a copy of the required textbook on Reserves... What does that mean?
Answer
Materials on Reserve are items available by an instructor for students in that course to use. Sometimes, they include reading passages or videos that are to be read/viewed in addition to the text; but, most times, an instructor will put the text for that course on Reserves to save students the trouble of buying a textbook at the bookstore.
You can check out materials on Reserves, but the must be returned to the library within 2 hours, or you will be assessed a high late fee.
