  • Students may borrow a maximum of two print reserve items at one time. They must complete a form for each requested item and present the form along with a photo I.D. to a Circulation Desk attendant. The items will be retrieved and a due date and time assigned.

How long do items remain on reserve?

  • Instructors are contacted at least four weeks prior to the start of an academic term to determine the status of items on reserve. Items no longer needed are removed from reserves approximately six weeks after the start of the new term. Instructors needing items returned earlier should contact the Reserves Supervisor. Personal and departmental items will be returned via campus mail unless the owner arranges to pick them up.

Does Lovejoy Library comply with copyright laws?

  • Yes. Lovejoy Library firmly supports and adheres to copyright laws. In cases where multiple copies of a single work are required to support instruction, the Library will seek permission to duplicate the work.
