The amount of copied material placed on reserve should be reasonable in light of the nature of the course. The number of copies placed on reserve should be reasonable for the number of students enrolled. We recommend one copy for every fifteen students in a class, and will not acquire more than three copies of a given work for any class. Copy practices which exceed fair use provisions of copyright require advance permission from the copyright owner. The Library will seek permission from the copyright holder and will pay any reasonable fees charged if faculty submit materials six weeks in advance of anticipated use.
Faculty are also free to seek permission themselves.
Guidelines for obtaining copyright permission are available in the Library. The electronic reserve service will be governed by general reserve policies listed above. Reserve materials will only be copied in electronic form at the request of an individual faculty member. Access to these materials will be restricted to students, faculty, and staff at West Virginia Wesleyan College. Electronic reserves will be set up as password-protected files on the campus network.
