New Course Reserve Look-up Workstation

The old, blue Course Reserves binders that have been used to look-up reserves for courses have gone the way of the Dodo bird. They have been replaced by a dedicated, Course Reserves Look-up workstation. That's all this workstation does; allow you to look-up course reserves. In the case of hardcopy reserves, you can then write the Reserve Number on the slips provided so that the Circulation desk person can pull them from the Reserves shelfs. They are similar in function to the dedicated, Catalog workstations except this one only permits Course Reserves look-up.

If you have any comments or suggestions about this workstation, please contact Michael Dick (michaed@umbc.edu).
