If we are required to purchase a textbook, the library should have a copy of it too. There is no Engineering Economic Analysis, 11th edition, but CIVE240 requires it. Thanks for writing. I know that textbooks are an enormous expense for students, and many rely on the library's course reserves system to help them through the term. Books and other materials go on course reserve when your instructor or department requests it. If we don't hear from your instructors, we don't put their stuff on reserve. So please let your instructor know that you'd like the stuff you need on reserve, and if they look at you like you've got two heads, send them here.

Got library fines? Got unwanted text books? We can help with that. Between May 30th and June 11th, 8am through 8pm, Hagerty Library will offer fine forgiveness for up to if you bring us a current textbook in fair condition (determined by the library). And, if you bring us a book but you don't have fines, you can transfer the forgiveness to your friend who does. Not sure what to donate? Need more information? Take a look at the library's most wanted. Questions? Email reserve@drexel.edu.

If there's one thing we know about students, it's that they want more course readings on reserve. Help them out by getting your summer course reserves squared away as soon as possible. Your students will thank you for it, and so will we. All the details are listed on our 'Course Reserves' page, where you can also find links to the library's online or printable form. Got a question? Contact the library's reserves desk. We'll get back to you soon.

Starting next term, those with more than in library fines will not be able to check out reserve books. Have you ever needed to read a chapter for class but not been able to get the book you need from the Library's reserve collection because a classmate has kept it out past their time? It happens too often at Hagerty Library so starting in the Spring quarter, once you reach in fines, you won't be able to check out reserve books. As always, once you hit in fines, you lose the ability to check out 28 day loan books, laptops, DVDs or access our electronic databases. How This May Affect You This means that some of you will have to pay off your fines before you'll be able to use the library in the Spring. We know this is a new procedure, so when you come to the circulation desk, ask to speak with a supervisor and we'll be happy to discuss your account with you to make sure that our new policy is clear. Not sure if you have fines? Check your library account. How Can I Pay My Fines? You may pay either half of your balance or the full balance. Partial payments will not be accepted.

• In person: Come to the circulation desk and pay with a credit card (VISA or Mastercard), check (made out to Drexel Libraries) or cash. We also accept Ultima Funds!
• Not in town? You can pay over the phone with a credit card ( minimum) by calling 215-895- 2755 and ask to speak with a supervisor. Or, mail us a check, but be sure to note your student ID in the memo so that we can clear your account!
• Remember: The point of this is not to make money or to keep books from students, but to work together to make sure that the greatest number of students can benefit from what the library has to offer.

What We're Doing to Make Things Better We're working to provide more copies of the books you need. If we don't have a book you're looking for, there are a few things you can do:

1. Ask your professor to provide the library with a copy of the book.
2. Send us an email! reserve@drexel.edu
3. Fill out our suggestion sheet at the Hagerty Library circulation desk.

Spring term starts in three weeks! Want your students to get a leg up on spring term reading? Help them out by getting your course reserves set up ASAP. It's never too early. Please don't forget: we've got a lot of course reserves to manage here at the library. The more time you can give us to get it all into the system, the better prepared we'll be to get your students exactly what they need. Putting readings on reserve is pretty easy. Just fill out the form. Questions? Please contact Gina Cacace, the library's reserves coordinator, at 215-895-6786 or gdc27@drexel.edu.
