Circulation and Reserves

Reserves

Materials are placed on reserve by the professor of the course who fills out a reserve form. The professor determines the loan period which may be 2-hour library use only, 2-hour overnight, 3 days, or 1 week. To place an item on reserve, professors can use our online reserve form. Faculty interested in E-Reserves should contact us. A complete listing of reserves by course title and professor is available in GALILEO. Simply follow the instructions from the Main Menu offering "Reserves" options. Circulation personnel will be glad to guide you through should you need assistance. For more information, contact Shannon Howe, (219) 464-5168 or e-mail Shannon.Howe@valpo.edu .

Copying

There are 4 copiers available in Christopher Center, one on each floor. Cash can be used with all of them. Students, faculty and staff can now use Crusader cash to purchase copies. If they use their cards, they will receive a discount on the cost of copies. Copies are 7 cents with the card, ten cents (8.5x11) and twenty cents (11x17) without the card. Approved VU departments and organizations may charge to accounts; inquire at the Circulation Desk for that procedure.
