Reserve books may be checked out for two hours for library use only.  Most reserve materials may also be checked out of the library two hours before closing and are due one hour after opening the next day. Fines of $1.00/hour are charged for overdue reserve items.

Holds may not be placed on Reserve items online, however users waiting for a book that is in Library Use, may request that the Library Desk "page them' when that book is returned to the desk. Paging is done on a first come, first serve basis, but requesters must remain in the Matas library for this service to be available.
