Finding Course Reserves in the Catalog

• Search the catalog under Course Reserves by instructor name, course name or course number.
• Write down the reading number of a course reading, the call number of a library book, or the name of the book's author if a book is the personal property of the professor who has put it on reserve.
• Ask for the item from the Reserve Desk immediately adjacent to the Circulation Desk.
• You will need a current Rice ID to borrow an item on reserve.

E Reserves:

• If an item on reserve has a call number in the catalog that starts with an E, it is only  available on the Rice website, Fondren Catalog, under Course Reserves.
  
• Access to E Reserves is Username and Password restricted; your instructor hands out this information.
  
• You can access it with any web browser.
• You need Acrobat Reader to view it.

Reserves Loan Periods and Fines

At the professor's discretion, items on reserve may have loan periods of two hours, 24 hours, or 3 days.

A fine structure different from ordinary library books applies to course reserves: reserves fines are $1.20 per hour to a maximum of $30.00 per item.
