Reserves Policies

Materials which must be used by students in order to complete course requirements may be placed on library reserve. Please limit reserve materials to required reading as there are shelving limitations in the reserve area.  

Reserve materials are shelved on closed stacks behind the Main Level Circulation Desk. Time on reserve items is designated by the instructor. Any deviation from an instructor's designated circulation period will be done only with the consent of that instructor.  

The following suggestions will increase the effectiveness of the reserve collection :  

1. The form for placing materials on reserve is available in the library. 
2. Order new books that you will want for reserve several months in advance of their need. 
3. Within reason and copyright restrictions, copies of periodical or newspaper articles will be placed on reserve. According to copyright restrictions, a photocopied article may be used for reserve one semester one time only. For reuse, permission must be granted from the copyright owner and a copy of the permission letter given t o the library. 
4. Personal copies will be placed on reserve at your request. These items will be given the same care library materials receive. However, there is no guarantee against loss or damage. 
5. Items will be placed on reserve on a first - come basis. Please allow at least 48 hours for the library staff to process the materials for the reserve shelves. 
6. Reserve forms or lists are to be given to Eileen Kopren, Public Services Librarian. 
7. Be sure that the library has placed your items on reserve before you assign these items to your class. 
At the end of each semester, all library materials are returned to regular shelving and personal copies are returned to the respective faculty member unless it has been requested that they remain on reserve.
