The Librarians check the reserves
throughout the day and fill them

no one else can check out the item
unless there are multiple copies of
the same item available.
Use this same process to check out
books through Interlibrary loan.
Librarians at other campuses fill ILL

LIBRARIANS FOR YOU!
CAMPUS LIBRARIANS
If you have any questions regarding library materials, searching strategies,
database usage, or any other research related question, please ask for
assistance from your campus library staff.
ASK A LIBRARIAN SERVICE
If you need assistance outside of campus open hours, you may pose your
question to Ask a Librarian, by going to this Web site:
http://www.askalibrarian.org/
Librarians from public libraries, academic institutions, and specialty libraries in
Florida volunteer to answer questions asked by the general public through this
service. Librarians on duty at any given time may or may not have access to the
electronic resources you need help with, but will most likely be able to look up
factual information for you.
