Reserve Materials

As a refresher as we are getting a lot of freshman.  We do not carry every book that is required by courses.  We do not have them either in our general collection or on Reserve.  I see many confused students who assume that we do.  Things on Reserve are only there if the professor requests that they be there, the library just processes the request.  These can be items where the library already owns a copy, or they can be the professor's or department's copy.  Items that are technically not the Libraries will not show up in the our general collection (non Reserve search) as they are not ours.
