Course materials, such as books or DVDs, can be placed on reserve for your students. Reserves have short loan periods to ensure access to required materials.
Reserves are located at the Fondren Library Main Desk, Hamon Arts Library Services Desk, Bridwell Library Circulation Desk, or the Business Library Services Desk. All media reserves (DVDs) are located in Hamon Arts Library.
