All library books are subject to recall after two weeks and must be returned. Buley Library does not charge fines for overdue books to faculty or staff. However, the other CSU libraries may charge fines for overdue materials.

Faculty can authorize a research assistant or secretary to check out books on their behalf by sending an official letter or e-mail message to Shirley Cavanagh. The information will be entered into the circulation system and will be active for a semester. This information can be updated for additional semesters. The faculty member assumes all responsibility for any lost or damaged material. Remind the person to bring their own ID card when checking out books for you.

Reserve Materials

Print Reserves

Faculty should fill out reserve forms and submit reserve materials to the Circulation Desk. All reserve lists are processed in the order that they're received, so we recommend that you submit your material two weeks in advance before the semester begins. Please fill out a reserve form for each course, along with the materials to be placed on reserves. Indicate the course number and if the reserves are to remain in the library or can be checked out overnight.

Electronic Reserves

You can place many items, such as journal articles and book chapters, on electronic reserve. We have a separate form for the scanning and processing of electronic reserves. Forms are also available at the Circulation Desk. Please inquire at the Circulation Desk for more information about electronic reserves.
