RESERVE PROCEDURES AND GUIDELINES
The Reserve Collection is housed at the Circulation Desk, 1st level of the
Halle Library, to your left as you enter the building. All teaching faculty
(others must have special permission from the Library Department Head) may
place materials on Reserve for their classes within the following guidelines.
When placing materials on course reserve and/or EReserve,
the Halle Library adheres to the requirements of the Copyright Act
of 1976, United States Code, Title 17, Section 107and all subsequent
amendments and interpretations of this law. For more information go
to: http://www.copyright.cornell.edu/policy/Copyright_Guidelines.pdf.
(These Cornell guidelines were approved by the Association of American
Publishers.)
All lists are processed on a first received basis. You may submit a
list 30 days before the beginning of the semester it will be used. Please
allow 10 days for processing. Additions to Reserve lists will not be
processed until all previously submitted lists have been completed.
Your Reserve lists should be restricted to required readings only.
Materials may be placed on Reserve for 2-hour, 24-hours, 3-day, and 7-day loan periods only.
Photocopies will be made at the ratio of one for every 20 students in the class. Copyright law compliance may limit the number of copies we can make. When you send in your own copied material, please provide all the information needed for a complete citation, including the copyright statement.
If you wish to have your articles copied and returned to you, please note that on the reserve form. Personal copies of photocopies will not be returned to you unless you request us to do so.
For each class we may combine all photocopies of required reading into one notebook and charge out the notebook rather than the individual articles. Photocopies will sometimes be bound together, so it is helpful to the Reserve staff if all photocopies could be submitted at the beginning of the semester. The Reserve staff cannot be responsible for articles stolen from notebooks or folders.
If you plan to have personal copies placed on reserve we will need to place a barcode on each item. The barcode is normally placed on the inside cover, or if the inside cover contains information it is placed on the first available page. If you feel uncomfortable with this process, we will try to make other arrangements. The Library is not responsible for damage to personal copies of books placed on reserve.
You and your students can check the status of your Reserve Lists through EMU's online catalog Web Voyager under "Local Catalog - Course Reserve Lists".
Reserve forms are available in your departmental offices and at the Circulation
desk in the Library. Online reserve forms for books, articles and
media are also available. Only the standard forms will be accepted.
We may return lists that are illegible or lack essential information so please
fill out the form as completely as possible.
If you have questions about our Reserve system, please call us at 487-0020
x2140, send us an email libres@emich.edu,
or come by the Reception Desk.
