Books and media on Reserve need a little extra attention to ensure that they are available when needed for class reading/viewing.
At check-out:
Tell the borrower the time and date due back
Tell the borrower that hourly Reserves are library-use-only
Never let the item leave the Circ Desk without being checked out
Always check reserve materials out to yourself if you need to borrow reserve materials for your classes – even if you are reading them while working
At check-in:
Look for the green dot or yellow reserve sticker on the spine (replace if missing or falling off)
Look for the “on reserve” message
Re-shelve immediately in the correct spot on the Reserve shelves behind the Circ Desk
Alert a Circ supervisor immediately if:
The item is missing, not where you think it should be, or is overdue
Requests for the book/media go unfilled – for peak activity times, we can actually shorten the due time to ensure access to more students
If demand consistently exceeds supply, we may need to consider adding another copy
Many thanks for the help!
