Information for Students: Borrow, Request, Renew

Has your professor made required or suggested course materials available via library reserve services?

Reserves are located at the circulation desk on the main floor of the library. Materials on reserve have short loan periods (2 hours for books; 3 hours for DVDs) so that all students have fair access. Make sure to return these materials on time to avoid overdue fines ($1 per hour). 

Students can search for items on reserve using the Saint Search discovery tool.

Search for:

• Your course number (ex. PSYC 100) or
• Your course name (ex. Marine Ecology) or
• Your professor's name (ex. Dearing) or
• The book title (ex. One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest )

Controlled digital lending (CDL) allows our library to scan and lend a digitized version of a book in a controlled manner that avoids copyright violations. The library will scan the reserve item and allow one student at a time to request item via the ‘Get it!’ button in the Saint Search item record. A link to the digital copy is then provided to the student.
