Reserves are items that professors have set aside for student use. Reserves have shorter check out periods than normal library materials and some can only be used in the library. You can search for reserves using the Voyager circulation module. Reserves are located behind the Circulation desk on the first floor of the library.

The Circulation desk checks out materials and deals with students paying fines.  It is located on the first floor of the library.

The writing center is a student run facility where students can have their papers edited by tutors working in the center.

Class Matters

This article explains how librarians and the SALTS program can be a helpful resource for people struggling with substance abuse problems.  Many individuals that struggle with substance abuse problems don’t know where to turn for help.  Librarians are a fantastic resource for those with substance abuse problems just like those that work in the SALTS program.  In the health care article “Life at the top is not just better, its longer” from the book Class Matters,  the author refers to the increased likely hood for individuals in lower levels of poverty-like social classes to engage in drug and alcohol abuse.  The public library system makes it possible for anyone of any social bracket to attain information about substance abuse and possible cures for the disease.
