Behind the Circulation/Reference Desk are books and photocopied materials on temporary reserve and books on permanent reserve. We keep certain high-use items behind the desk (such as Kentucky Practice , the Kentucky Law Summary , and Kentucky Jurisprudence) as well as basic treatises, hornbooks, nutshells, and videotapes. Unbound current issues of law reviews and periodicals are also behind the desk.

The items on reserve are there because they are used heavily and always in demand. In order to make these materials available to as many users as possible, they have a four-hour check-out limit. In addition, reserve materials may be used only in the library.
