You can verify that your instructor has placed textbooks on reserve for your course by visiting the Bertrand Library Course Reserves page. You can search by course name or instructor to find out what materials are available on reserve. To check out a reserve item, please go to the the Library Services Desk on the main floor of the library. Please bring your BU ID, the course name/number (i.e., PSYC 100), and the instructor's name to ensure you get the correct materials. 

Please note: Reserve materials are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Instructors specify the length of time that reserve materials can be checked out (either 3 hours, 4 hours, or overnight).
