Note:
For items not in the library's collection which require ordering, please include as much additional information as possible (publisher, distributor, address/telephone, year, ISBN #, etc).
Reserve items are used by many people, so please remember that any library item may already be in use for another class or professor. If the same item is used by more than one class or professor, the shorter loan period will be used.
We advise you to turn your list in as soon as possible so that we may accommodate your needs.
UH instructors or professors can request printed materials (library or personal copies of books, photocopied handouts and articles, etc) for students to come into Sinclair Library and use or be scanned or linked from the Online Catalog.
Such as books and photocopies of journal articles may be placed on reserve.
The Library can scan items if copyright allows or provide links to electronic journals & sources.
Books copies of exams or other course materials. All personal copies submitted for reserve will be labeled and barcoded. Although staff take all reasonable precautions, personal materials on reserve are at some risk. Do not place valuable or irreplaceable items on reserve.
Disclaimer for Personal Copies: The University of Hawai`i Library at Manoa will not be responsible for any damaged, missing and/or lost personal copy while on reserve. Faculty will be notified to either replace the personal copy or to withdraw it from reserve.
