Ask at the reference desk for help finding a specific textbook or item on reserve. Most reserve materials are available for 2 hour use in the library, but there may be some exceptions. You can also try searching for the title and then using the limits on the left column of the library catalog to find books in a specific library and shelf location (at the bottom of the left column) as "Reserve Desk."
