Requests and items may be submitted one year in advance. Upon receipt of your completed request the following processing times will apply: 

• Library materials - 3 days to 3 weeks

For items that are not in the library's collection and require ordering, please provide a complete citation and allow at least two months for the ordered items to be put on reserve. Only one copy can be purchased due to limited funds. 

Please remember that any library item may already be in use for another course or faculty. If the same item is used by multiple courses or faculty for differing loan periods then the shorter loan period will be used.

Materials from these collections may NOT be placed on Reserve:

• Hawaiian / Pacific
• Charlot and all special collections
• JABSOM Library
• Periodicals and reference materials

Make arrangements directly with these departments and inform students that items must be used at their respective locations.

Disclaimer for Personal Copies: 
The University of Hawai`i at Mānoa library will not be responsible for any damaged, missing and/or lost personal copy while on reserve. Faculty will be notified to either replace the personal copy or to withdraw it from reserve.

Although staff take all reasonable precautions, personal materials on reserve are at some risk. Do not place valuable or irreplaceable items on reserve.

End of the semester procedures:
Reserve lists and items will automatically be withdrawn from Reserve at the end of the semester.

All links to digitized text, online articles and e-books, and streamed media will be removed.

Reprints and personal copies will be delivered to the departmental office. Pick up by faculty are welcomed. Library books will be returned to their respective libraries shelves.
