The instructor must present written copyright permission to place off-air recorded copies, dubbed media copies, or unpublished manuscripts (including student papers) on reserve. Instructor owned materials may be placed on reserve, but library staff can not assume responsibility for their damage or loss. If instructors do not wish to use their personal materials, they can request the material be purchased by the library. Materials owned by other libraries cannot be placed on reserve. Articles, pre-tests, and class notes should be made available to students via Blackboard; please contact the TEAL Center for more information ext. 2353. All materials will be taken off reserve at the end of the semester (or sooner at the instructor's request). Instructor owned materials will be returned via inter-campus mail; library owned materials will be re-shelved in the circulating collection.

Once the item becomes overdue, the late fee must be paid before the item can be renewed. Back to top 3. General InformationLibrary course reserve collections are established at the request of an instructor to ensure that all students in his/her classes have equal access to required materials. When establishing a reserve collection, professors should consider the class size and the amount of material involved before deciding how many copies of an item should be placed on reserve and the length of time materials may circulate. In order to view or checkout a reserve, the student must present their current CINO Card. Also, please note our overdue fine policy, established to ensure prompt return of reserve materials.
