encouraged to submit their print and electronic reserves ASAP.  To expedite the
process please keep these things in mind:

• Reserves submitted without the
  appropriate form may take several weeks to process
• All forms need to be filled out
  legibly and completely
• Items are processed in the order
  that they are received
• Faculty submitting large numbers of
  print items (i.e., 30 or more) may be asked to remove items as the semester
  progresses
• Unless noted on the appropriate
  form, all items are removed from reserves at the end of each
  semester
