multiple copies of novels no longer on course reserve
Per an email from Michael Elmore, Head of Technical Services:
...it is our policy to place every copy of a title on course reserve. Until now, that has been true for novels as well as for non-fiction. As of today, that has changed. We will now place only one copy of a novel on reserve....

closed reserves, use outside the library
Per a staff announcement from the Head of Collection Services, responding to requests from students,
"We have changed the policy limiting daytime use of closed copies. Closed copies still circulate for 2 hours, but students can take the books out of the library."

single reserve copy overnight checkout
fyi: The only (or last) copy of a reserve book may now be checked out overnight in the last two hours before closing. It must be returned by opening. It can even go in the book drop.
This policy is about a year old.

course reserves
I just had a student looking for an article ("From exploration to play" in Developmental Psychology) Vol.17, no.5 {1981}, pp.360-639 that was listed in CLIO as being on reserve in a BC folder.
The article was not in a BC Folder.
I found that the article is available via PsycArticles, so I wondered if the article really should have been recorded in CLIO as being an e-reserve. I called the circ desk and spoke with Anna.
I now understand that due to some quirk that I do not understand, that the only sure fire way to find course reserve materials is to search under the professor's name. It has something to do with how the records are uploaded.
Unfortunately I did not learn this in time to ask the student for the professor's name to verify this solution.
Got more info? Please comment!
