Reserves FAQs--College of St. Catherine Libraries

How do I find out what items are on course reserve?
You can search for reserve items through CLICnet, the library's online catalog. The reserves section is located in the lover left-hand corner of CLICnet's main search page. You may search reserves by professor name or by course name to find all books, articles, videos, and e-reserves items placed on course reserves. Connect to CLICnet

How do I check out a course reserve item?
Once you know what item you need, either from CLICnet or your instructor, you can check out the item by going to the library circulation desk and asking for it. Let the worker at the circulation desk know the name of the item you want, and the name and/or number of the course for which the item is on reserve. It's also helpful if you can give the name of your instructor as well.

What is Electronic Reserves (e-reserves)?
Electronic Reserves gives you online access to many course reserves materials through CLICnet, primarily journal articles and book chapters. These items can be downloaded and read or printed. You may need to download and install the Adobe Acrobat Reader to access e-reserves materials. Public access computers on the College of St. Catherine St. Paul campus already have the Acrobat Reader installed.

How do I access an electronic reserve (e-reserve) item?
Once you have searched CLICnet and located an e-reserves item, you will need to type in your name (first name and last name) and library barcode number to view the document. For complete instructions on accessing e-reserves, see the Electronic Reserves page.
• Please be aware that articles download much slower from off-campus locations than from on-campus locations.

How do I have an item (or items) placed on reserve or electronic reserve (e-reserve)?

What is Electronic Reserves?
Electronic Reserves gives students online access to course-related materials through CLICnet. Once they have searched CLICnet and located an e-reserves item, students type in their name (first name and last name) and their library barcode to read or print the document. This insures that copyrighted material will be available only to College of St. Catherine students, faculty and staff.
