For Faculty:

Print out and complete a book form or an article form and bring material to the Circulation Staff to be prepared for print or electronic reserve access. In addition to the material reserved by the professors for their students, high use items are placed on permanent reserve for the Providence College community.

For Students:

Students access information about reserves through the HELIN catalog.  A link to reserves is available from the library front page.  Print copies of faculty reserves are available for examination for a period of two hours. This period can be renewed if no one else is waiting. Some professors arrange for a 3 or 7 day loan for selected items. Reserve fines are charged at the rate of $.25 per hour not to exceed $5.00. An overdue reminder is forwarded after 60 days.​
