Library Collection
Course Reserve– these are the books required for class and are designated by greenish-yellow stickers. They can be checked out for 4 hours at a time.

Reference– reference materials have pink stickers and include dictionaries, encyclopedias, manuals, and copies of our more expensive books. These materials do not leave the library.
General Collection– these books are not color coded and have a 2-week check-out period. Items can be renewed once but need to be returned and re-checked out after one month’s time.
