Print reserves

To find out what books are on reserve for your course, go to your course's Canvas page and select "Course Materials @ Penn Libraries" in the navigation list on the left. If your instructor has set up a reading list using library resources, it will appear there.

The Dental Reserve Collection is located behind the Circulation Desk. Reserve items can be borrowed for up to 4 hours at a time, with possibility of extension for special circumstances or if there are multiple copies available. Patrons should ask the Circulation Desk attendant to retrieve reserve items.
