Find Course Reserves

The placement of Course Reserves is a service provided and administered by the LCCC Library Circulation Department.  Course reserve materials are accessible during library hours to LCCC and University Partnership students and faculty.   Students or faculty may choose to search for the reserved item by the faculty member's last name, first name or the course name.  Printing of the reserve material is available for 10 cents per page.
