Faculty: Instructors can put library materials including reference books, DVDs and personal

specific classes. Please submit requests as early as possible to avoid delays, especially
since we receive most of the reserve requests in the first week of classes.

Students: If your instructor has put materials on reserve, it would mean that you and your classmates will have access to these materials for shorter loan periods without the need for you to buy the book. If you have any questions regarding Reserves Services, please email librarycirculation@mckendree.edu or call (618) 537-6950.
