The reserve collection contains items that have greater circulation restrictions than materials in the main library book stacks. Types of reserve materials include DVDs, videos, audio materials (e.g., books-on-CD and tape), resources that are in high demand (e.g., test preparation guides like the GRE study guides), and materials with multi-media components. Headphones as well as tape recorders are also available for checkout.
