Introduction

The Regenstein Reserve Processing Staff prepares material for course reserve for undergraduate and graduate courses in humanities and social sciences, as well as material for course reserve for the Divinity School, the Graduate School of Business, and the Harris School of Public Policy.

The Reserve Processing Staff provides the following services:

• places material from the University of Chicago Library's general collections on Reserve
• photocopies and/or scans, and places articles from periodicals and chapters from books on Reserve
• places personal copies of articles, chapters, manuscripts and books on Reserve
• orders material which the Library does not own, or obtains this material through Interlibrary Loan for replacing on Reserve.

Deadlines for Submitting Reserve Requests

To ensure that reserve items are available at the beginning of the quarter, materials should be submitted six weeks prior to the start of the quarter. This will allow time for processing, ordering, recalling photocopying, scanning, etc. Reserve lists may be submitted at any time throughout the quarter. However, lists submitted during the first two weeks of the quarter may take 1-2 weeks to process.

Lists are processed in the order in which they are received.

Reserve requests can be submitted in any of the following ways:

• in person by dropping off reserve lists and materials to the Customer Service Assistant at the Regenstein Library
