Q. If a professor has put a book on hold in the library for my class, can I check it out?

If a book is placed on Reserve for a class by a course instructor, you can check it out for building use only, typically for a limited amount of time, like 2 hrs. The professor sets the time limit. Reserve materials are held at the Circulation Desk, located on the first floor of the Library across from the elevators. Before a book can be checked out, you will need to provide the class name, instructor name, or department. Again, how long an item can be checked out is determined by the course instructor.
