Ask A Librarian

Professors and instructors put relevant materials on reserve to ensure all students in a particular course have opportunity to use them.  Reserve materials are given a shorter loan period (one-hour, three-hour, 24-hours, etc.) for a limited time (ex. term). Occasionally, the reserve item must be used in the library. 

NOTE:  As reserves items are in high demand, fines are charged on late returns. 

Most reserve items are articles or books however, you'll also find less traditional items such as:

• phone chargers
• financial calculators
• scientific calculators
• headsets
• bone kits
• rock kits
• colour pencils
• games/colouring books
• energy lamps
• bicycle helmets*

You will present your myCBUcard to Circulation staff when borrowing Reserve items.
