Reserve Materials
Do you have that perfect book to supplement your course material for the semester? Maybe a video in a catalog caught your eye. The format of your supplemental materials does not matter; just don't forget the best place for them is on RESERVE at the Osterlin Library. You just need to let us know what materials you need, and we will make sure your students have access to those materials 72hours per week. (yep, that's 72hours of in-library viewing, reading time EVERY week during the semester!).
If your reserve item is available from one of the
Library's electronic resources, students may be able to view
it from anywhere the Internet is available. The Library has initiated
a new process that allows for "links" to be added to the reserve
desk (in WebCat).
This has opened up the opportunity for students to view those materials
from home, work or anywhere on campus where access to the Internet is
available.
| Print Items Suitable for Reserve: | Online Articles Suitable for Reserve: |
| Single copies of personally owned books, videos, articles or other media | Journal or magazine articles available through one of the Library's online databases (EBSCOHOST, InfoTrac, etc) |
| Books available through the Osterlin Library general collection | |
| Supplementary course materials such as lecture notes, sample tests, answer keys |
(Note: The library is not able to purchase materials for course reserves. Please contact your library liaison for information about ordering materials for the general library collection.)
Compliance with current copyright law must be assured. If only one copy of an article is reproduced (reproduction must be within the limits defined by "fair use" requirements), the item may be placed on reserve. The source of item (article) must be cited clearly on the first page.
| To Place Print Materials on Reserve: | To Place Online Materials on Reserve: |
| Complete a Reserve form. That form is available at the Service Desk in the library. If you need copies please call (995-1060). |
Contact the Library.
|
| Attach the form(s) to the material(s) you want on reserve (book, magazine article, etc.). You are welcome to drop off the materials in person at the library, or use an Interoffice mailer. |
Provide: |
| Please allow for sufficient time for processing new reserve requests before sending students to the library. Our goal is to have materials available within 24 hours of receipt. We recommend completing the reserve process prior to the beginning of classes each semester. | We will check our databases for electronic access and notify you of the status of the article's availability. |
| If Educational Media Technologies (EMT) has a video you wish to put on reserve, please contact Sharon Kelley at 995-1075. Sharon will provide the library with a copy for the reserve shelf. |
What else do I need to know?
To view a video or checkout any print reserve materials, the student must have a valid library card. To get a library card, the student must provide library staff with a valid driver's license or student identification card. Without a library card, the student may not be able to check out reserve materials needed to complete your course.
