    Ask at the main circulation desk, Firelands, or Music Libraries or the Curriculum Resource Center for their Reserve material.

What do I need to check out Reserve materials?

  How do I get the call number?

• Items on Reserve for a class can be found by choosing "Reserves by Course" or "Reserves by Instructor" on the main page of the BGSU Libraries Catalog.
• The location and call number will display when you choose the specific record.

  How long do I get the material?

• The time is determined by your professor.

  Can I renew the material?

• No, however, you can check out the item again if there are no holds on the item.
