Course Reserves
Library Course Reserve Form [Under Forms >> Library]
The placement of course reserves is a service provided and administered by the KCKCC Library circulation department. Reserve materials are available during regular library hours. Students or faculty may search for the reserved item by faculty member's last name or the course name in the KCKCC Online Catalog. Printing of reserve materials is available for 10 cents per page.
Faculty members may submit books, articles, videos/CD-ROMs/DVDs or library owned items for Reserve at any time.
