Copyright Restrictions

Submitting Reserve Requests

  1. Fill out a Reserve Submission Form for each class for which you want materials placed on Reserve.  All items previously submitted as permanent reserves, must be resubmitted to confirm their permanent reserve status.
  2. Provide a black, three-ring notebook for any class notes, homework or exams to which you will have material added each week.  If using the same materials as in previous years and they are barcoded, please resubmit the barcoded material.
    Note: We urge you to place this kind of material (articles, class notes, homework, sample or previous exams) in the secure online Blackboard courseware for your students rather than placing it on reserve in the library. 
  3. Send the completed Reserve Submission Form(s) at least 2 weeks before the beginning of the semester.  We would prefer submission via an email attachment, although receipt of a printed version is acceptable.  Send to:
