How do I find out
what's on reserve for my class?
All materials that are placed on reserve by instructors
can be found by searching the Library's catalog, I-SHARE.
On the Library's home page, go to the Reserves & Course
Support section and click on search
course reserves.
On the Course Reserves page, pick your Instructor, Department,
and/or Course from the menu and select Search. Keep in mind
that Courses are listed in order of the course number (i.e.
Math 211). As instructors put materials on reserve for multiple
courses, the more options you choose, the smaller your list
of items will be.
A list of items will display, along with the course name,
number and item status.
If you do not see the item you are looking for, visit the
Circulation Desk or call (630) 829-6050.
Where to I go to check
out reserve items?
Reserve items are held behind the Circulation Desk on the
2nd floor of the Benedictine Library. You can check out
items at the desk any time the library is open. In-library
use only items must be returned 15 minutes before the library
closes.
How long can I
check out reserve items? Can I take them out of the library?
Instructors can choose several loan periods for reserve
items. The most common is a two-hour reserve where the items
must stay in the library. This is so materials are available
to the all students in a class at any time. Reserve items
that can leave the library are due back by the end of the
day on the due date. Loan periods are listed below:
| Loan Period |
Can item leave the library? |
| 2 hour |
No |
| 3 hour |
No |
| 1 day |
Yes |
| 3 day |
Yes |
| 1 week |
Yes |
Library staff at the Circulation Desk will let you know
when a reserve item is due. Please return all reserve
items to the Circulation Desk, not the book drop outside
the library.
How do I
access items on e-reserve?
Please refer to the handout (in Word
or Adobe
Acrobat (.pdf) format) for instructions.
