Reserve information for instructors

Copyright and Reserve materials

Mon, 13 Jul 2009 16:43:21 -0400

To protect the university, the Libraries must make every effort to verify copyright compliance. This includes obtaining an authorized signature on reserve forms and checking the submitted materials for multiple articles or chapters from the same work. For further information on copyright, visit our Reserve copyright guidelines page.

We must have a signature on reserve request forms signifying your compliance with copyright law.

If a reserve item becomes missing or damaged, the instructor will be notified promptly by either phone or email.

Patrons who have long overdue reserve materials belonging to the Library will be billed a standard replacement fee. Additionally, the instructor will be notified that the item is unavailable.

University Libraries will not replace lost or damaged personal materials.

Placing items on Reserve

Mon, 13 Jul 2009 16:23:17 -0400

An instructor wishing to place materials on Reserve will need to complete and submit a Reserve Request Form (online form or print and return).

There is an Reserve request form online for instructors who want to place library-owned materials on reserve. You can also sign in to My Library Account, perform a search in Addison, and use the Add to Course Reserve (Faculty and GTAs only) link to submit the currently viewed item to Reserves. The link will pull information from the catalog and fill out the Item Information section of the Reserve form for you
