Using Reserve Items

All reserve materials are held behind the Circulation Desk, and you must inquire at the Circulation Desk if you wish to check out any of this material.  The reserve collection is a closed stacks collection, meaning that it is not accessible for patrons to browse on their own.

Reserve materials are in the process of being added to the Online Library Catalog. Searching for these materials in the catalog is straightforward:

• In the optional limits section near the bottom of the initial search screen, select "Taylor Univ.-Upland Reserves" from the Location dropdown menu and "Reserves" from the Collection dropdown menu.
• Then select whichever index you wish to search and enter your search term(s) in the keyword search box. (Note: It is very important that you use the keyword search, not the browse search, because limits only apply to keyword searches.)
• Click on the Go icon to generate your search.

Items on reserve are identified in the catalog by the fact that the collection is shown as "Reserves" and the item status in the holdings display is shown as "Reserve Loan - 3 Hours."
