Guidelines for
Placing Materials on Library Reserve
Reserve materials are
supplementary resources instructors can make available to their students.
Instructors may request to have materials owned by the library placed on
Reserve.
Instructors
may also place personal copies of books, videos, and other materials on
Reserve. The
library is not liable if personal copies are lost or damaged; however, the
library will
replace the
item if replacement charges are recovered from the responsible patron.
Copyright Statement
All copyrighted material
placed on Reserve must include appropriate citations or attributions to
their sources. Instructors are responsible for obtaining copyright
permission for the materials they place on reserve. All copyrighted material
will include the following Section 108 (f) (1) notice:
This material may be
protected by Copyright Law (Title 17, U.S. Code). Under certain conditions
specified in the United States Copyright Law, libraries and archives may be
authorized to furnish a photocopy or other reproduction. One of these
conditions is that the photocopy or reproduction may not be 'used for any
purpose other than private study, scholarship or research.' One copy may be

Obtaining Copyright
Permission
In accordance with Fair
Use, copyrighted materials supplied by faculty members will be placed on
Reserve for one semester without obtaining permission, unless the
item is already owned by the library. Thereafter, the library will not keep
any copyrighted material on Reserve unless the faculty member has obtained
official permission.
Instructors are
responsible for obtaining copyright permission for the materials they place
on reserve. Copyright permission can often be easily obtained through the
Copyright Clearance Center @
www.copyright.com.
Please contact a librarian for further information or assistance.
Scanning Materials for
Electronic Reserve
Copies of
journal articles and/or book chapters must be provided by the instructor.
To ensure high
quality electronic files, submit material with clear, legible text printed
on white 8.5 x 11 or 8.5 x 14 sheets. The pages of a submitted reserve item
should be checked to ensure correct page numbering prior to submission. All
items placed on eReserves will require authentication using the student’s
library barcode and PIN.
To place material on
reserve, please complete a Library Reserve Request form and submit to
the Circulation Counter, send through campus mail, or email to
Kevin Webb.
Please allow 3 business days for processing.

Library Reserve Guidelines, please contact
