Reserve Items

What is Reserve?

Reserve consists of two collections:

  1. The first is a collection of items in MLC 308 generally assigned a 2 hour loan period. It includes books, DVDs, CDs, book chapters, articles, and instructor’s materials.These items must be used in the SAC Library reserve area, MLC 308.   
  2. The second is electronic reserve. It includes book chapters, articles, test reviews, instructor’s notes, or other photocopied material. Students can access electronic reserve items through the SAC Library Discovery 24/7 by course or instructor from any Internet connected computer. After typing in their names and Banner numbers, students get access to the full text of Reserve items. In addition, a unique password may be assigned to a reserve item so that only individuals knowing the unique password can access the reserve item.

Students can identify items on Reserve by course or instructor in Discovery.
