Shelf Reading
Shelf Reading:
Shelf reading is a process verifying that all the materials on a given shelf are in the correct order by Library of Congress call number. If there is down time, you may be asked to shelf read. This is also a great opportunity to get to know our collections!
All items are located in the back room behind the Help and Information Desk.
Board Games- This circulating collection is expanded yearly to include newly released, critically acclaimed, or award-winning games. Games can be checked out for 3 days and are shelved by LC call number.
Hold Shelf- Items that have been requested by a patron which are “held for” and shelved by last name.
Media (DVDs)- A small collection of DVDs that can be checked out for 7 days.
Reserve Shelf- Physical materials that the library temporarily sets aside for class reading and viewing at a faculty member's request. These materials have shortened loan periods and are often restricted to in-library use. PLEASE NOTE: Shelved by course code, then LC call number.
