The Course Reserve collection includes books, articles, periodical issues, and sample exams which teaching faculty have requested to be kept in the library for short-term use by their students. The collection usually changes every semester.
The library does not purchase textbooks; it carries only those that are supplied or donated by academic departments or instructors.
The reserve collection books can be borrowed only by Chattanooga State students with a valid student ID card. The books may be requested at the library's Service Desk.
