General Information Items from the circulating stacks as well as Reserve materials, most Government Documents, leisure reading materials, pamphlets, college catalogs, and annual reports may be checked out of the library. The length of check out and the number of items is determined by the patron type (student, faculty, Courtesy Card, etc.) and item type (book, reserve, pamphlet, etc.).
