UHM Library Debit Card Update
  The library upgraded its debit card system in March of 2002 since replacement parts and components were no longer available. As part of the transition process, the library exchanged the old white cards for the new dark green cards or issued refunds when requested. However, the time has come for us to maintain a single card system, therefore, effective August 1, 2003, Sinclair and Hamilton Library Business counters will no longer accept the old white cards for exchange or refund.

  Put your class material on Reserve at Sinclair Library
  Besides housing many journals and the music collection, Sinclair is the home to all Reserves at UHM. If you have any material—books, handouts, overheads, and media such as videos, CDs, or DVDs—that would you like your entire class to use, Sinclair is the place to make it happen.
  If UHM has limited copies of an item, placing a title on Reserves will make it accessible to all students in a fair manner. Students may save money by utilizing the material at the library instead of having to purchase their own copy. Reserve materials can be from the UHM library or you may provide your own copy.
  E-Reserves - Electronic Reserves provide easy 24/7 online access to print materials for class use. Students appreciate this service because they can view documents on the Web anytime, anywhere. Instructors appreciate no more missing pages. Let our E-Reserves staff do the work of making your material available online. [exp 07/18]
