What are Mt. SAC Library's Course Reserves?

 

Answer

What are Course Reserves?

Course reserves are course materials that an instructor has made available in the library for students to use. They include textbooks, books, DVDs, articles, etc.

Note: Not all instructors place course materials in the Library. This means the Library may not have every course material being used and or required at Mt. SAC.

  • Course reserves items are due 15 minutes before the Library closes every day
