Accepting Reserve Requests at the Information Desk

Reserve list forms are kept in a tray under the Information Desk. Make certain that the form is filled out completely.

Photocopies are always scanned for electronic reserve. Titles for electronic reserve files should be listed as the faculty member wants the files to appear to students. The electronic reserve files should be separated in some way. (paperclips, etc.)

The reserve staff does not scan directly from bound volumes, including course packs. Photocopies do not need to be provided if the article is available online.

Be careful when accepting reserve lists to not make promises about when something will be processed.



After Accepting the Reserve List

After accepting the reserve list, write your initials, the date, and the time that the reserve list was received at the bottom of the reserve list form. Put the list on the small table in the Information Desk area. If you have time at the end of your desk shift, fill out the the appropriate quarter tag and staple it to the reserve list, create a 'placeholder record' and put the list on the shelf labeled 'put new reserve lists here'. Arrange the lists or additions to lists in the order that they were received.
