Definitions for "Reserve Materials"
Materials that instructors have arranged with the Circulation staff to make available for the students in a class to read. These may be in print form, which may be borrowed from the Circulation Desk for a short period, or may be available online via Electronic Reserves. To access the latter from off-campus, you need to use the proxy server.
Books, videos, or other material that instructors wish to make available for their students' use in the library. At Otis, reserve materials are kept behind the circulation desk.
A collection of material in very high demand due to use in the curriculum. Instructors may request that library materials (or, in some cases, their own materials) be placed on reserve for students to borrow on short loan periods for the duration of a course. See Circulation and Reserves. S - V
