PUBLIC SCHOOL LAW
Part 24: Education Law Books on Reserve
The faculty can put materials on reserve
for students in their classes at the
circulation desk of the library. These
materials can be copies of articles, books
the library or the professor owns,
textbooks, tests, and software. These
materials can be checked out by students
to study or make copies of.
Textbook Reserve Program
The cost of textbooks has increased markedly in
the last few years and many students are having
difficulty in purchasing all the required texts for
their courses. To help alleviate this challenge,
SE has established the Textbook Reserve
Program (TRP). The TRP cannot provide
textbooks for every course offered; however, the
program wishes to serve as many students as
possible. See the Textbook Reserve Program
webpage for more information
