Reserves

Research Collections

When material stored offsite is requested, the material is held on reserve for one week after it arrives at the Library. If needed, materials may be held for longer periods of time. Visiting researchers and scholars can also request other materials to be held on reserve and thus readily accessible for use over the course of several days or a week.

You may place a hold on any item that can be borrowed by using LEO, the online catalog of the Branch Libraries. This is often the most effective method of obtaining popular books, CDs, DVDs and videos.
