The Reserve Collection is an extension of the classroom in that it supports academic programs that may include:
The information you list on this form should match its listing on your syllabus. The total number of items that may be placed on Reserve is 25 titles per trimester per instructor.
When professors place student-authored works on Reserve (such as research papers, resumes, completed assignments, models, charts, etc.), they will need to have each student author fill out a copy of the Release Form for Reserve Use of Student Projects. Contact the Course Reserve Specialist to obtain a copy of the release.
Instructors may place materials on Reserve at any time during the trimester. Materials will be removed from the Reserve shelves at the end of the current trimester unless otherwise noted on the request form. They will then be de-processed and returned to the instructors and/or returned to the stacks (usually around the fourth week of the following trimester)
Renewal:
To renew a Reserve listing that was placed on Reserve for only one trimester you must notify the Reserve Specialist before the start of the following trimester.
Add/Remove:
Faculty may add or remove items any time during the trimester. Please notify the Reserve Specialist ahead of time when you want to remove materials from Reserve, even if the materials are your own copies. Reserve items must be de-processed before they can be returned to you.
To update or review Reserve materials:
Faculty who need to look over or add to materials that they have placed on Reserve should see the Reserve Specialist. The Reserve Specialist can make arrangements to check the material out to you for an appropriate length of time.
Student Access: A call number and Bearcat ID are required to check out a Reserve item.
Students may look up current reserve materials here and bring the number to the Library Services Desk to check out the item. Patrons will be charged 50 cents per hour for Reserve materials returned after the time due.
Photocopies:
Faculty must provide their own photocopies to be placed on Reserve. Photocopies should have 1" margins and no large black areas. Instructors should note on the Reserve Request Form whether materials are required reading or suggested reading. The number of photocopies allowed will depend upon this. Only one copy will be placed on Reserve for suggested readings and one copy for every five students (up to a maximum of six copies) for required readings.
Copyright Permission:
Instructors are responsible for providing full bibliographic citations for every photocopied item so that the Reserve Specialist can apply for copyright clearance. Alternately, instructors may provide proof of secured permission to the Reserve Specialist (see Copyright Permission).
