Course Reserves

Course Reserves are course-related materials made available through the UWB/CC Campus Library. Textbooks, films, and other Items owned by the UW Libraries or instructors may be placed on Reserve for short-term checkout. Some required course materials are available in electronic format (e.g. ebooks, streaming media). Most required textbooks are shelved in Open Reserves on the first floor of the library and generally have a 72-hour loan period. Some high demand textbooks are placed in Closed Reserves located behind the Circulation and generally have a 4-hour loan period.

• 1 - 10 hours overdue: $2.50 per hour
• After 10 hours overdue: Item may be billed as lost. Lost item charges for Reserve loans include a $25 overdue fine + $30 lost item processing fee + a replacement cost of $150 or more.
