Home > Catalog > Faculty Course Reserves
Faculty Course Reserves is a small, temporary reserve collection located behind the Library Service Desk. It consists of items that professors have asked to be held at the Service Desk because a number of students may need the same materials to complete assignments.
Students
Course Reserve items may be checked-out by IIT Downtown Campus students. A student ID card is needed to borrow these items at the Service Desk. Course Reserve books and photocopies circulate for 3 hours or less and must be read or photocopied in the Library. An overdue fine of $0.25 per hour for each item will be assessed for late returns.
For additional information, please see the Library Circulation Policy.
Faculty
Putting Items on Reserve
Faculty may place items on reserve for the current semester or quarter by
contacting their library liaison.
Instructors' personal copies of books may be placed on reserve, with few
exceptions. These items will be labeled and bar-coded, and will probably
sustain more than average wear and tear. It should be noted that, while the
Library makes every effort to ensure that instructors' personal books are
not stolen or damaged, this does sometimes happen. Under no circumstance
is the IIT Downtown Campus Library responsible for the replacement or compensation
for the lost or damaged material.
Please keep in mind that there can be potential delays in placing items on
reserve:
Items not owned by IIT Libraries: Depending on availability, it can take two weeks or more for a book to be ordered, acquired, cataloged and processed for reserve. Articles from journals not owned by the Libraries must be acquired through Document Delivery/Interlibrary Loan.
Items not currently available: Library books may need to be recalled from a user, located, replaced or shipped from the bindery.
Removing Items from Reserve
Items are automatically removed from Reserve at the end of each semester
or quarter, unless prior arrangements have been made for your class. Photocopies
and personal copies of books will be returned to the faculty member’s
office.
