Items on reserve are materials designated by faculty for use by students enrolled in their courses.

  • Go to Primo Discovery, select "Course Reserves" in the search box drop-down, and enter the course name or instructor to view physical course reserves 
  • Print (books and scores) and media reserves are kept behind the circulation desk at the Robinson Music Library

All print and media reserves are for use within the library. 

Students/Faculty: Using Reserves

You may borrow reserve materials if you are a conservatory faculty member or student

Loan Periods: Patrons may only check out one item at a time for in-library use. All materials must be returned prior to closing.

Print Reserve items may be checked out overnight 15 minutes before closing time (unless specified "No Overnight.") Overnight loans are due 30 minutes after opening time the next day. Media Reserves may not be checked out overnight. Overdue Reserve fines are $1.00/hour.

Note: Conducting staff and faculty members coaching sectionals may borrow reserve orchestral scores for any scheduled CIM orchestra rehearsal or sectional. Scores must be returned to the library (or drop-box) after each rehearsal.

Photocopying: Reserve materials may be photocopied using overnight checkout (when it is permitted). Special requests for photocopying reserves during library hours may be submitted at the Circulation desk (cost: $0.10/page). Scores and orchestral parts may not be photocopied. Photocopy machines are not located in the library.

Faculty: Reserving Materials

We ask you to submit course reserves lists before the beginning of each semester. Advanced notice enables our staff to acquire and process resources that may not currently be in the library collection.

E-reserves: You can request that material be placed on e-reserves via Canvas each semester utilizing Leganto, a new course readings and reserves tool. For more information, please contact the Access and Digital Services Librarian

Print Materials: You can request that specific print materials (books, scores, articles) be placed on the reserve shelf in the library each semester. Submit course reserves lists for print and electronic materials to the Access and Digital Services Librarian.
