For Reserves:

• Select a print-out of the online request at the end of the request data entry process.

• Attach an online printed request to the pink reserve form. Reserves can be processed before permission is granted. However, when updated status of the request is received, written confirmation should be provided to the Circulation Desk. If the request is denied, notify Betty Bond Kranz (x8694) immediately.

• Correct citation information must be marked on each copy.

• Permission slips in paper copy are available at the Circulation Desk.
