Place Fall Reserve Requests Now!
The
Atkins Library is dedicated to providing electronic reserves services that have
become so popular with both students and faculty, and we are now pleased to be
offering streaming audio reserves! While these electronic services make
course reserves more accessible for students, they increase the processing time
of traditional course reserves. Because of the volume of reserve requests
received at the beginning of the Fall semester and the influx of new students
asking for materials during the first few weeks, we kindly ask for more lead
time for items you need the first few weeks of the semester. After
the initial rush we can promise a twenty-four hour weekday turn-around.
The
Atkins Library Course Reserves unit encourages you to submit reserve requests
needed early in the semester two to three weeks in advance (Late July for the
first week of school). You can find forms and information to submit requests
by email at
http://www.library.uncc.edu/reserves/forms/.
We process requests in the order received and early submission makes it more
likely that your materials will be available when your students need them.
Please contact us at x72843 or
reserves@uncc.edu for any questions or
assistance - particularly if you would like to hear about our new streaming
audio reserves.
Welcome
back!
