Reserve Services Collection
The Reserve collection is a temporary one supporting University teaching programs. Books and media are accessed at the Homer Babbidge Library's iDesk. Chapters and articles are accessed on-line through HuskyCT. Certain course related materials may also be purchased as Reserve Course Packs sold at the UConn Co-op . The Reserve collection includes the following types of materials:
- Required reading materials for scheduled courses
- Non-course related materials - primarily selected University reports.
- Approximately 1,500 books, 1600 DVD/VHS's, 3,000 journal articles, and 300 personal copies are placed on Reserve every year for about 800 different courses.
Your ID Card
A University ID or a UConn Libraries Borrower ID is required to borrow Reserve materials.
Loan Periods
Reserve materials circulate for one of the following loan periods:
- 3 HOURS, NOT TO LEAVE THE LIBRARY
- 3 HOURS OR OVERNIGHT
- 3 DAYS
Reserve Lists
Lists are submitted by faculty electronically. Reserve staff make every attempt to process Lists submitted on time before the start of the semester. Lists received after the established semester deadline are placed in a processing queue. Materials are processed out of queue order only under extenuating circumstances. Incomplete or incorrect information in lists can cause delays in making Reserve materials available to student users.
Ordering New Books
Reserve orders requested titles not owned by the library, except for required textbooks. It can take several weeks to order, receive, and process a new title, so ample lead time must be allowed when ordering new titles for Reserve. Library policy permits the purchase of 1 copy of a title per 20 students up to a maximum of 3 copies per title. Call Nancy Martin at 486-2033 for more information.
Journal Titles
For most efficient processing, faculty are encouraged to provide either the web address to which Reserve staff can link the article to your HuskyCT course or copies of journal articles from which Reserve can scan for electronic course reserve. Otherwise, complete citations, without abbreviations, are required for Reserve to process journal articles from the Libraries' collections or through Interlibrary Loan.
Electronic Course Reserve (ECR)
ECR is a web based service designed to enhance access to Reserve materials by eliminating access constraints of time and place. It offers Reserve materials over the campus network via HuskyCT. See links for faculty on the Faculty Course Reserves page. For more information, email Reserve Services or call 486-2518.
