Reference materials are for use in the Library only and may not be checked out. Primarily, these are reference works such as dictionaries, directories, and encyclopedias. The Reference collection is located on the 2nd floor.Reserve materials are also (usually) reserved for in-library-use only. These materials are in especially high demand and are restricted to short-term loans (usually 2 hours) in order to allow better access to a greater number of people. Reserve items are only available upon request at the Circulation Desk. Some materials are temporarily put on Reserve by faculty for the duration of a course and later returned to the main collection. Certain research tools that are always in high demand such as Kittel’s Theological Dictionary of the New Testament and current editions of style manuals are on Permanent Reserve.Fines will accrue hourly for overdue Reserve items.To find lists of materials on Reserve for specific courses, search WebVoyge using the Course Reserve Search.
