Finding and Borrowing Course Reserve Materials

To borrow Course Reserve or other items from the Circulation/Reserve Desk, users must have a CUNY ID with a current validation sticker or stamp. Users must also know the Title of the item they wish to borrow. Reserve items are check out for 2 hours of in-library only use and may be renewed if the demand for them is not great.  

Finding and Borrowing Other Reserve Materials at Cooperman Library

Non course reserve items, or reserve items that are property of the library rather than of an instructor, may be searched through OneSearch. These include library books, videos and CDs. This material may be searched by title, author or keyword.

 Also available at the Reserve Desk

VHS cassettes, DVDs, and music CDs are kept at the A/V Reserve Desk on the third floor of the library.  Videos and music CDs which are not reserved for a class may be borrowed for 7 days.

 

Overdue Reserve Materials

The fine for overdue reserves materials is $5.00 per hour. Bills for overdue fines may be obtained at the Circulation Desks at each library or the Reserve Desk of Cooperman Library.  Fines can be paid by check, money order, and Hunter OneCard, at the Circulation Desk at any of the Hunter College libraries or in cash at the College’s Bursar Office. Reserve delinquencies may result in the suspension of borrowing privileges. A library stop will be placed on a student's record with the Registrar once a bill is generated for unreturned reserve materials. The library block will remain in place until the material(s) is returned, the overdue fine is settled or the replacement charges (for lost items) are paid.

Reserves Desk Hours

The Reserve Desk closes 15 minutes before the Library. All reserve material must be returned before the Reserve Desk closes.
