Reminder - - Get Your Course Reserves in before Winter Break
Here's an easy to-do that you can cross off your list... get your course materials into the library before the Winter Break!
Course reserves are one of the many services the Downtown Campus library offers to its students. What are course reserves? Course reserves are materials (textbooks, reading materials, audio-visual materials) that faculty put on reserve for their students to use during the semester. These items are library use only, with a two hour check-out period. Typically they are textbooks and supplemental items that help those students who don't want to carry their books back and forth from home to school but want to study between classes, or they could be readings and/or AV items, that the instructor wants the students to read/view outside of class.
So far this semester, we have had almost 4500 checkouts of course reserve materials from 42 disciplines!!
If you would like to have items in the library for your students to use for the Spring semester, please bring them to the library before Winter Break. Each item is individually added to our system, which takes some time and by having the item to us before January, it will ensure that those items available to your students the first day of classes!
If you have any questions, please feel free to stop by the library or call us at 206-7267.
Happy Holidays!
