Ordering Fall textbooks? The Engineering Library has course planning services.

We facilitate student access to high-demand items in book form or electronic formats.

Solve these problems using Reserve services at the Engineering Library.

• Eighty books were ordered, but only sixty have been received. What can you do until the bookstore receives the other twenty? Put a copy on reserve in the Engineering Library.

• There is a book with only one chapter appropriate for your class, but the cost of the book is $250.00. Do you ask your students to buy the book, or do you consider their finances and ignore this resource? A scanned copy of the chapter can be made electronically available.

• You announce in class the title of a book for additional reading. An eager student checks out the only library copy, while twenty other students vent their frustration. Inform Library staff first and the copy is placed on reserve with a two (2) hour circulation limit.

• You wish to use an article from a journal and the library has only one copy for multiple students. A scanned copy of the article is made available online, with copyright protections.

You may send us your reserve requests three ways:

1. Send email to engrlib.1@nd.edu

2. Use the on-line form (be sure to select "Engineering Library" from
the selection of libraries): https://www.library.nd.edu/reserves/forms/books.shtml

3. Bring your printed list to any staff member in the Engineering Library.

The sooner we are made aware your needs, the sooner we can collect or purchase the material necessary for your course. The beginning of the semester is the peak work period in the area of reserves. Try as we might our limited staff cannot process everything at once.
