Placing Items on Reserve:

Request Form: To place materials on reserve for the upcoming semester, complete the Reserves Request Form. Include detailed information such as call numbers, OneSearch permalinks, Amazon links (for purchase), or ISBNs to ensure proper processing.

Requests are processed in the order they are received.

Processing Time: New orders may take a few weeks to process. Please submit requests early. If the library cannot acquire the materials, you may place personal copies on reserve.

Permanent Reserves: Some high-demand materials are kept on permanent reserve by request (such as our skeleton!)

Materials That Cannot Be Placed on Reserve:

• Books and journal articles obtained via interlibrary loan, including those from other CUNY libraries.
• Library periodical issues or volumes.
• Scans of entire books.

End of Semester:

Returning Materials: At the end of the semester, reserve materials will be returned to the stacks. To continue reserving items for the next term, email the Reserves office at Reserves@brooklyn.cuny.edu before the current semester ends.

Assistance: For further help with reserve requests and procedures, contact the Reserves office at Reserves@brooklyn.cuny.edu.
