Lippincott Library Course Reserves

Who has privileges at Lippincott Library Reserves, and for how long can reserves be used?

All University of Pennsylvania students, faculty, and staff are eligible to use reserve materials for three hours at a time within the Van Pelt-Dietrich Library Center. Materials may be renewed for an additional three hours, as long as others are not waiting to use them.

Print or physical reserves

Physical materials on reserve at Lippincott show the location of "Lippincott Library - Reserve Desk" in the library catalog. We have many of the required and supplementary course readings for Wharton School classes.

Checking out materials

To use materials, request them at the Lippincott Library Information Desk on the 2nd Floor, west side of the Van Pelt-Dietrich Library Center. A PennCard or Library Courtesy Card is required to check out reserve items, and they may be used for three hours at a time within the building.

Returning materials

Please ensure that materials are returned to the Lippincott Library Information Desk and not at other circulation desks within the building.

Electronic reserves

For students, if your course uses reserve materials, they will be found on your Canvas site under the "Course Materials @ Penn Libraries" tab.

Faculty requests

Wharton faculty requests for materials to be placed on reserve can be emailed to: lippreserves@wharton.upenn.edu.
