Finding and Borrowing Course Reserve Materials
To borrow Course Reserve or other items from the Reserve Desk, users must have a CUNY ID with a current validation sticker or stamp.Users must also know the Call Number of the item they wish to borrow; it is not the responsibility of the Reserve Desk staff to search for Call Numbers for users. Reserve items are check out for 2 hours of in-library only use and may be renewed if the demand for them is not great.
Finding and Borrowing Other Reserve Materials at Wexler Library

How do I know which reserves are available electronically?
What technology is required for access?
How do I find the document/article I need?
ERes is an electronic reserves software program that enables students to access linked journal articles from the Library’s subscription databases, scanned book chapters and journal articles, and other materials that faculty may place on the Course Reserves Collection as required course readings.
Access to ERes is restricted, on a course by course basis, to currently enrolled Hunter College students. To ensure compliance with current copyright restrictions, students will be asked to provide a password to enter the ERes course page for their course(s). Passwords will be provided to students by their professors at the beginning of the semester.
How do I know which reserves are available electronically?
When books and other materials are not available electronically, a link on the ERes page will lead users to the Library’s online catalog screen where they will be able to obtain the call number of the item if it is available in print at the library and check the status of the item. Users should write down the call number, and then request the material at the Course Reserve desk located on the 2nd floor in the Main Campus Library or at the Circulation desks at the branch libraries.
