WHY PUT MATERIAL ON RESERVE? To make heavily used items available for class assignments by restricting the circulation period.
WHAT SHOULD BE PLACED ON RESERVE? Any material that will be heavily used by an entire class over a limited time may be placed on reserve. This includes books, chapters or sections of books and articles from journals or periodicals. Short extracts from books and articles should be photocopied for reserve. All photocopies must be provided by the instructor. Multiple copies are restricted due to the U.S. Copyright Act of 1976, space limitations of the reserve area, and the library policy based on use pattern of reserve items. The Libraries request one copy for every 30 students. Due to heavy useage, reference and two-hour materials may not be placed on reserve. It is usually not necessary to place materials listed on optional class reading lists and general bibliographies on reserve. the library is willing to place personal copies on reserve, and will give them the same care as library materials, but cannot assume responsibility for loss of these items.
WHEN IS MATERIAL REMOVED FROM RESERVE? Material will be removed from reserve at the end of the semester or other date on the LIBRARY RESERVE REQUEST FORM. Circulation records for titles placed on reserve are returned at this time for evaluation of use made of reserve class materials. All reserve materials must be reviewed annually and may be renewed for reserve by resubmitting an updated LIBRARY RESERVE REQUEST FORM to the appropriate circulation desk. Resubmitting of photocopied material will be subject to the guidelines set forth in the Faculty Information Leaflet #3.
