The Art & Architecture Library provides reserves--books, DVDs, course readers, photocopies--mainly for courses presented by the Art Department. Details about items on reserve are available on the Stanford University Libraries' Reserves Catalog.

To get a reserve item, present your current ID and then give the name of your course instructor and the call number to the circulation desk attendant. There is a limit of two books per reader at any given time. Reserve materials circulate for two hours and may be taken from the Art Library. No reserve materials circulate overnight; all items must be returned at closing.

To place items on reserve (instructors and TAs only), please complete and submit the online Reserves Form at least one week before the beginning of each quarter's classes. While some items may already be in the Art Library, others may need to be recalled or purchased. In addition, we may need to obtain copyright clearance for photocopies before they can be placed on reserve. When adding any additional material to your reserves, please allow 3-5 days processing time before it becomes available for use. Please contact Patricia Sullivan (pjsull10@stanford.edu) for assistance.
