LSU Library is the main library. Centrally located on the quad, it is an active and energetic part of academic life at LSU. Subject librarians are available to students and faculty for personalized research consultations, copyright support, and help navigating our world-class collections and resources. The library facilities include individual and group study areas, a graduate reading room, a math lab, the Shell Tutorial Center, computers, wireless access, and a coffee shop. Additionally, LSU Libraries administers equipment checkouts for students and interlibrary borrowing services. Hundreds of thousands of books and journals are also available online through the library website, including textbooks for many LSU courses.
You must come to the checkout desk with the call number, professor's name, or book title. You may find this information on the library catalog reserves page, where reserve items are arranged by course name or instructor's name. Find the call number you need under the course, write it down, and someone behind the desk will get the book for you. If you are unable to find the information, the staff at the desk will be happy to try to assist you. NOTE: A valid LSU ID is required in order to check out Reserve materials.
The purple, pink, yellow, green and blue slips inside each reserve book will tell you the exact date and time your material is to be returned. Currently there are 5 circulation options:
- 2hrs/ BUILDING USE ONLY: This material circulates for 2 hours and cannot leave the building.
- 2hrs/ Overnight: This material circulates for 2 hours and can be taken out of the library overnight if the item is checked out less than 2 hours before closing.
- 1-Day Reserve: This material will circulate for one 24 hour period. The material will be due the following day at the same time it was checked out.
- 3-Day Reserve: This material circulates for 72 hours. The material is due in 3 days at the same time it was checked out.
- 7-day Reserve This material circulates for 168 hours. The material is due back in 7 days at the same time it was checked out.
The instructors choose which circulation period that they want us to use for each title. You need to speak to your instructor if you disagree with the amount of time given for an item.
- Access Services staff processes reserve book lists on a first come, first served basis. The beginning of the semester is a busy time for the staff, so there may be a delay if an instructor does not submit their reserve book lists before the semester begins.
- The instruction may not have submitted his/her list to the Access Services staff on time.
- Check with the instructor to make sure the material has been requested.
