Nestlé Library
Borrowing and Reserve Policies
Materials held by the Nestlé Library are listed in the Cornell University library catalog, which includes location and circulation status information. A valid Cornell ID is required to check out circulating and reserve items. Fines are assessed for lost or overdue items.
The circulation desk serves as the course reserve service desk. A notebook lists materials on reserve for Hotel School classes. Reserve items for a class or professor may also be identified through the Nestle Library course reserve search form. Only two reserve items may be checked out at at time. Fines are 4 cents per minute or $2.40 per hour for overdue reserve items.
