COURSE RESERVES
Faculty and staff members can put items on Course Reserves for students to use. These items may include books, journal articles, movies, and other material supporting BHCC classes. Reserve materials are available at the Lending Services Desk on a limited basis.
FOR STUDENTS
- To borrow Reserve materials, use your BHCC OneCard (with your library barcode on the back.)
- Reserve items are organized by instructor's last name and course, so make sure you have this information.
- Give yourself enough time to use the materials. Most Reserve items can be borrowed for two hours and are for use in the library only. If no one is waiting for the item, you may renew it.
- You can also make photocopies. Copies are ten cents per side. The copy machines accept nickels, dimes, quarters, and one- and five-dollar bills.
- You can view Reserve movies in E-226 in the Center for Self-Directed Learning, E-235.
- Reserves are searchable in the library catalog by instructor's last name, course name, or course ID (e.g., ENG111).
FOR INSTRUCTORS
To put items on Reserve:
- Please contact us to establish your course reserves for the semester or year.
- Complete an electronic form (below), or a paper copy from the Lending Services Desk, and bring the form and your items to the Lending Services Desk.
- You can put items on Reserve for the remainder of the academic year or for only one or more semesters (Winter 2012, Spring 2012, Summer 2012).
- Allow the library staff 5-7 days to process your items.
- Most Reserves are set to a two-hour in-library-use-only loan period, but you can set a different time period if you want.
- You may remove your items, renew them for another semester, or donate them to the library.
- Renewals are not automatic, so we will send you an email reminder if necessary.
