the Library : Circulation & Reserves Services: Reserves |
| The reserve collection, located behind the Library Services Desk of the Scarborough-Phillips
Library, is a special collection of materials that are circulated for a limited
period of time.
|
| Materials meeting the
following criteria may be placed on reserve: |
| |
Library Materials |
| |
|
- Items requested by instructor for a specific class.
- Items that must be used by a number of people within a short
period of time.
- Items that have a high risk of being stolen or damaged.
|
| |
Non-library Owned Materials |
| |
|
Personal Copies – Personal copies
of materials may be placed on Reserve, especially in instances where the library
cannot secure a copy of the title in time for class assignments or when the material
is out of print. The library does not encourage this practice since the Library
cannot assume responsibility for replacement of lost or damaged personal materials.
Sticky labels are placed on all materials for identification. With your permission,
personal copies of books are treated for the security system. Please let us know
if this procedure is not appropriate for your material. Photocopies
– At the request of faculty, the Library will place
on Reserve photocopied excerpts from copyrighted works in its collection in accordance
with guidelines similar to those governing formal classroom distribution as mandated
by the Copyright Act of 1976. In accepting copies material to be placed on reserve,
Scarborough-Phillips Library assumes they have been made in compliance with the
“Fair Use” provision of Section 107. The instructor must request permission
from the copyright holder to place material on reserve for more than one semester. |

*The copyright law (Title 17 U.S. Code) governs
the making of photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted materials. Instructors
are responsible for submitting *photocopies of printed materials and copies of
*software for reserve use. When you submit photocopies of a work published before
March 1, 1989, please include any notice of copyright that appears in the original
work. This will help readers determine whether the work is under copyright protection.
If your submission does not include a copyright notice, the library will assume
there was none in the original work. In accepting copied material for reserve,
Scarborough-Phillips Library assumes they have been made in compliance with the
"Fair Use" provision of Section 107. Photocopied material placed on
reserve for more than one semester requires permission from the copyright holder.
