Course Reserves
Course reserves are managed by the Access Services department. We provide two reserve management options
- Print reserves – books, media and photocopies
- Electronic reserves (Ares) – full-text journal articles, links to streaming media and Microsoft Office documents
Please allow up to 2 weeks for processing for all reserve materials.

Copyright for Reserves
Paper and hard copy reserves:
The library will put books, videos, sound recordings and articles on reserve, following fair use guidelines. When it is determined that a reserve request exceeds fair use, the library will seek permission from the copyright owner.
Electronic:
The library follows the fair use guidelines for electronic reserves and requests permission from the copyright owner if putting the item on reserve would exceed fair use.
(a) Faculty should provide hard copy or full citations and include the original copyright notice and attribution;
(b) For material from books or hard copy journals where no electronic version is owned, we will scan articles or chapters following the fair use guidelines;
(c) We will seek permission if the amount of material being posted would exceed fair use.
(d) The library may refuse to post material if in our judgment it would exceed fair use and we are unable to obtain permission from the copyright holder. In such cases, the library will place the original book, DVD/video or journal on reserve.
