Frequently Asked Questions

The Library has many, but not all, textbooks available in our Textbook Reserve Collection. 

Textbooks and course reserves are available at the Circulation Desk. Most of these items are for 2-hour in-library use only.  An OCC student photo ID is required to check out reserve items.

To check out a textbook, you need to know the call number of the textbook. You can look this up through OCC Discovery or ask the Reference Librarian at the Reference Desk for help.  

Reserves are restricted to current OCC students and faculty only. Reserve materials that are removed from the facility are immediately subject to fines and replacement costs. For more information, please check our Policy page.

Note of Gratitude:  The textbook reserve collection is funded by the OCC Foundation, with a generous bequest from a former OCC faculty member, Shirley Brooke.
