Course Reserves

Instructors must submit a completed reserve request for the Falk Library main desk. A printable version is also available.
Forms should be submitted at least two weeks prior to the date the materials will be needed. Without two weeks notice, availability of materials cannot be guaranteed.
HSLS materials and personal copies of books and articles (up to five copies of each book/article) may be placed on reserve.
At the end of term, HSLS materials will be re-shelved in the general collection; instructors must pick up personal copies.

Course reserves are available at the Falk Library main desk.
Reserve items must be checked out with a valid University of Pittsburgh. (See HSLS borrowing policies for more information.)
Reserve items may be checked out, depending on the specifications of the instructor,
- for two hours, in the library only.
- for two hours, outside the library.
- overnight, when checked out after 5 p.m. and returned by 8:30 a.m. the following day.
Reserve items may not be renewed.

Instructors may now include materials available in electronic form on their course reserve lists.
Links to electronic reserve items appear on PITTCat reserve lists and enable students to access those items from most computers on the Pitt/UPMC networks or from home using Pitt's Secure Remote services. (Some limitations apply.)
Instructors are required to place on reserve at least one print copy of each electronic reserve item.
