RioCat allows you to get information from your workstation that you previously had to ask for at the Circulation Desk:

Reserves -- By selecting this option, you can find out what print materials your instructors currently have on reserve in the Library for your classes. Reserve materials are kept behind the Circulation Desk on the main floor; short loan periods apply.

RioCat allows you to search for Reserve materials either by your Professor's Name or by Course Name. Simply select whether you wish to search by professor or by course. Follow the prompts on the screen to view the items on reserve. If you search by Professor, type his/her last name.

To view the items on reserve for your course, simply type the number which corresponds to it. If your search by Course Name, and more than one professor is teaching sections of that course, the professor's names will appear. To view the items for your course and professor, simply type the number which corresponds to it. Course names can be tricky. Generally, RioCat indexes these variant forms of course names:

*Full title of the course

Example: Introduction to Anthropology

*Short title of the course (as in the annual Schedule)

Example: INTRO ANTHRPLGY

*Course Number

Example: ANT 12104

For questions regarding the reserve collection or service, contact the Circulation Desk, 740-245-7005 or Deb Thompson, Circulation Associate (740-245-7398), Main Floor, Room 117.
