Materials Held at the Reserve Desk

The Reserve Desk is located on the first floor of the Library near the Gateway Cyber Café. These materials are placed on reserve by course instructors and circulate with a valid UVM ID for either 2 hours, 24 hours, or 72 hours (the length of the loan is determined by the course instructor). Items on 2 hour reserve may not leave the library.
