Library Reserves

Books on Reserve in the Library

Prepared by Jaleesa DeLavallade

Reserves are textbooks, or other course materials, that instructors ask the library to hold so they are available for students. Most Reserves are available to be checked out for two hours for in-library use only. But the loan time depends on instructor specifications. Reserves can be read on-site in the library, or small sections of their contents can be copied. There is a copy machine available in the library.

Some Reserves for the Culinary classes

Copies cost 10 cents if you pay with cash or coins. Alternatively, if you have added money to your Delgado I.D. using one of the P.H.I.L. stations around campus (small black boxes attached to the wall), copies only cost 5 cents.

If you want to know if your instructor put anything on Reserve for your class, such as the textbook, you can ask the instructor, ask in the library, or search in the library's catalog. On the library website, there is a link to the Reserve Desk.
