Instructions for Placing Items on Course Reserve

Non-circulating books and reference materials, circulating material from the treatise collection, and photocopied articles can be placed on course reserve.

 The library will not make copies. Administrative assistants or student research assistants are responsible for photocopying.

 Any photocopy or reproduction placed on reserve must be stamped with a notice of copyright. Faculty administrative assistants must seek copyright permission before the library will accept materials for course reserve.

 The library staff processes course reserves as expeditiously as possible but cannot guarantee availability of material in less than twenty-four hours. Please plan accordingly before notifying students that materials are on reserve.

 All reserve material will be removed at the end of the semester.

 All inquires about course reserve should be directed to Kaitlyn Yang, Circulation/Resource Sharing Manager.
