Hours

The Allen Library maintains a Course Reserves collection for Hartt courses and some non-Hartt University courses. Faculty can place course materials on reserve at the Allen Library circulation desk, and students can use those materials in Allen for four hours at a time. This helps ensure more equitable access for all students in the class.

Materials include CDs, DVDs, scores, books, and videocassettes that are part of our regular collection, as well as materials owned by the instructor of the course (Personal Copies).

Submit Course Reserves

To submit a request electronically, please download our Reserves Form (fillable PDF), fill it out, and email it as an attachment to Mike Anderson. Alternatively, you can print it and return the completed form to the Allen Library circulation desk. A print version of the request form is also available at the circulation desk. Requests will be processed as quickly as possible in the order in which they are received. Requests should be submitted at least two weeks prior to when items will be needed for class use. Faculty will be asked to pick up personal copies at the end of the semester.

Courses with materials mainly from Mortensen Library should request those reserves at the Mortensen Library Circulation Department (860.768.4964).

If you have further questions, contact Mike Anderson (860.768.4459).
