The NJC Monahan Library maintains a collection of Course Reserves containing textbooks and supplemental materials to support the courses offered at the campus. Course Reserves are provided to ensure all students have access to academic materials.
Course Reserves are located at the Circulation Desk. Items can be checked out with your student ID; they are Library Use Only. This means they cannot leave the library. Some materials on reserve can only be viewed at the circulation counter.
Faculty members are encouraged to place a copy of their required materials on reserve for their students.
A reserve item may be something owned by the library, a department, or an individual instructor. The Library does NOT purchase textbooks. The material will be kept on the shelf for either a designated semester or permanently.
The faculty member is responsible for retrieving their materials at the end of the designated semester. For permanent items, the Library will contact the instructor or department to ensure the material is still being used. Please allow 24 hours to process each reserve request.
