Course Reserves Processing
It is our intent to place items on Reserve as quickly as possible but please allow three to five week days to process your Reserve requests. This is especially true in the first few busy weeks of a new semester. A separate Reserve Form must be completed for each course. Even if the materials you wish to place on Reserve are in our possession, items cannot be released to students until they have been processed.
In order to place items on Reserve you must have a library user bar-code on your campus I.D.
All items placed on Reserve are removed at the end of every semester. You must notify Robin Maddalena, Head of Access Services, if you want materials to remain on Reserve for the following semester. Please stop by the Circulation Desk to pick up your personal copies removed from Reserve.
When preparing your course Reserve materials, please keep in mind the regulations regarding placing copyrighted items on Reserve. A “Copyright Quick Guide” and a sample letter requesting permission are available at the Circulation Desk. If you are unsure of what photocopied materials you have previously placed on Reserve, a list of titles is available.
Finally, it is strongly suggested that Reserve items not be allowed to leave the library.
Placing Photocopied Items on Reserve
Photocopied items can only be placed on Reserve once without permission from the publisher.
Please call Robin Maddalena, Head of Access Services at 617-731-7006 if you have any questions.
