Law Student Services: Course Reserves
Materials on reserve for courses, including e-reserves, can be searched by either Course Name/Number or Professor in the library catalog.
Reserve Collection
The library maintains a permanent core collection of reserve materials behind the circulation desk at Pappas.
Additional materials are placed in this area each semester as requested by law faculty for courses. The library has at least one copy of all materials listed on the booklists for J.D. and LL.M. students.
If you are unable to locate material you think should be on reserve, please check with a circulation staff member.
Reserve Borrowing
Generally, reserve materials marked Library Use Only or Non-Circulating must be used within the library.
Reserve materials may be borrowed for two hours. Selected reserve materials may be borrowed overnight and for use outside of the library. Overnight loaning begins two hours before the library closes. Books are due back to the library one hour after opening.
Reserve Overdues
Law students who have overdue reserve material will receive an email and/or phone call from library staff requesting the immediate return of the material. All other borrowing is suspended until overdue reserve materials are returned. Material which is overdue 3 days is billed for replacement through University Student Accounts. The minimum replacement charge is $130.00. Reserve books are reordered immediately when charges are accessed so the library does not refund any replacement charges if a book is returned after billing.
Please contact us immediately if you do not have the material listed in the overdue notice. Even if you are positive that the material was returned, our records still indicate that the material is checked out to you.
