Course Reserves

The MRC houses media materials selected by UCI faculty members as required or recommended viewing for their courses. MRC Course Reserves materials include videocassettes, DVDs, laserdisks, CD-ROMs, etc.

Find media on course reserves

Use ANTPAC, the UCI Library Catalog, to determine what materials have been placed on Course Reserves for a class. Course Reserves materials are listed by course name or by instructor.

MRC Course Reserves Lending Policies

MRC Course Reserves materials may be used only by UCI students, faculty and staff. Borrowers must have a valid UCI library card in hand to check out Reserves materials.

MRC Course Reserves materials can be checked out for three hours and are for use in the MRC only. An exception to the normal three hour loan period is made for UCI faculty who need to show a MRC videorecording in the classroom.

Holds

Holds cannot be placed on MRC Course Reserves material. Faculty can book Course Reserves videorecordings for specific classroom showing dates by completing the MRC Media Use & Booking Form.

Overdue fines

An item is overdue if it is returned to MRC Desk after the time and date it is due. Strict fines are levied to ensure timely return of Course Reserves materials so that others may use them. A $2 per hour (or any portion of that hour) fine per item will be charged on overdue reserves material.

Example: A $6 fine will be charged for 1 reserves item which was due at 12:00 noon but which was returned at 2:01 p.m. that day.

You will be billed for the cost of the item plus processing charges if the item is never returned or lost. Unpaid fines may accumulate additional late fees and result in the suspension of UCI Libraries privileges.
