Who has privileges at Lippincott Library Reserves, and for how long can reserves be used?

All University of Pennsylvania students, faculty, and staff are eligible to use reserve materials for 3 hours at a time within the Van Pelt - Dietrich Library Center. Materials may be renewed for an additional 3 hours, as long as others are not waiting to use them. To use materials, request them at the Lippincott Library Information Desk. A PennCard or Library Courtesy Card is required to check out reserve items.

Print or physical reserves

Physical materials on reserve in Lippincott show the location of 'Lippincott Library - Reserve Desk' in Franklin. The Reserve Desk, also known as the Information Desk, in Lippincott Library is on the 2nd Floor, west side of the Van Pelt - Dietrich Library Center. We have many of the required and supplementary course readings for Wharton School classes. Items such as DVDs may also be placed on reserve.
