Course Reserves

The Salt Lake Community College Libraries’ Course Reserves Service allows instructors to set aside books, films, sound recordings or Journal Articles in the library for student use. Reserve items typically include required and recommended course readings. Reserves help to alleviate the effect of ever-increasing textbook costs on students, foster student and faculty engagement.

Students

Course reserve materials are available at the library Circulation Desks at Redwood, South City, Jordan, and Miller campus libraries. Employees can help determine if a specific textbook is already available through our Course Reserves collection. Most items checkout for 24 hours and can be taken home and returned the next day. Please note that not all course-required textbooks are available on reserve.

There is an automatic $20.00 fine for each damaged reserve item.
