Hunter Library's Reserve program provides convenient access to various materials provided by Faculty or found within Hunter Library to supplement their curricula.

All reserves that need to be available the first week of the semester must be at the Reserve Processing Room (behind the Circulation Desk) 2 weeks prior to the first day of classes.  After the first week of classes, we can usually process material within a week.

At the end of each semester, all materials will be removed from reserve unless you notify us that you will be teaching the same class the next semester.  You will need to update the appropriate form for any material you plan to keep on reserve.
