What is the Difference Between the Main Collection and Reserves?
The main difference between content in the main collection and the reserves is how long you can keep it.
Main Collection: These books can be signed out for the whole semester. You might have to bring them back earlier if someone else requests them, but they are guaranteed to you for 3 weeks. You can renew them at the end of the semester unless someone else wants to check them out.
Reserves: These items are usually required readings for a course and can only be loaned out for a short period of time. This way everyone in the class gets a chance to access the content!
