Obtaining reading assignments on reserve in Bertrand Library:

Go to the Reserve Desk (near Circulation Desk). Ask for the material by instructor's name (Kirby) or class (FN 090 33 or "King Coal") and author. If you can't find it, be persistent and ask the folks at the desk for help.

You may check items on reserve out for up to two hours. You may make photocopies if you wish (ask library staff for Xerox machine location and policies). You may find photocopies useful so you will have the article in front of you for class discussions.
