Course Reserves

Reserve books are located on the bookshelves behind the library catalog computers. They are "open" for student browsing, and in most cases are arranged alphabetically by the instructor's last name. If you don't know your instructor's name, please ask the Library Staff.

The check-out period is determined by your instructor and is indicated on the back page of each item. Some books may be checked out for 1 day or 2 hours; others are available for in-library use only.

If you can't find a reserve book that you think should be available, please ask the Library Staff for assistance.

Because reserves are high-demand items shared by all students in a class, late fees are set at 50 cents per day per item.

To search the course reserves in the library catalog:

• Go to library.mcad.edu and click MCAD Library Catalog.
• Click Change library or database.
• Click Reserves and uncatalogued items and make sure the "Library" scrollbar is set to "Minneapolis College of Art and Design", then click Go.
• You may then search by faculty last name, or by the usual search terms such as title, author, etc.

Articles and audiovisual reserves are kept behind the circulation desk; students must request these items from Library Staff.
