The purpose of placing materials on reserve is to permit a faculty member to call specific information to the attention of students. Any faculty member of the School of Medicine may place material on reserve each semester for student use. This should be done at least two weeks before the material is to be made available. Materials will be removed from reserve at the end of each semester unless otherwise specified. When library material is overdue, an overdue notice will be sent.
Borrowers are responsible for the cost of replacement of any lost or damaged item.
A receipt should be given to the person paying a fine or the cost of lost material. A self-service copying machine is located on each floor of the School of Medicine Library. Faculty of the University of South Carolina may be billed monthly for photocopies by obtaining a credit card specifically linked to a departmental, grant, or special account. The issue of a credit card requires a signed letter of authorization from the appropriate Department Chair or Principal Investigator for grant charges. As an alternative to the patron doing the photocopying the library offers this service for a fee.
