COURSE RESERVES
Course reserve items are materials that your instructor has made available through the library to support your course. These may include textbooks, required and recommended readings, videos, bone models, and other resources that can help you succeed in class.
Reserve items are only lent to CCRI students, faculty and staff with a library card
in good standing. HELIN member library patrons and RI Resident card holders are not
permitted to use Library Reserve items.
Visit the Course Reserves page to search for materials.
NOTIFICATIONS
The Library sends out email notices regarding the following items:
- Due date reminders
- Overdue notices
- Fine/fee statements when new fines are generated
- Recall notices
- Item available notices

FINES/FEES AND LOST ITEM CHARGES
Hourly overdue fines are assessed for hourly checked out reserve items and other short
