Whenever possible, a copy for the Library's collection should be ordered. Personal copies are placed on reserve at the instructor's own risk. If personal copies are damaged or lost the Library cannot reimburse the instructor for the damage or loss. If the course is being taught again the next term and the same items will be needed again, the instructor should contact the reserve desk to request a continuation of the reserve list before the last day of classes. Several additional books concerning copyright law are available in the Reference and General Collections.
Instructors are responsible for supplying photocopies.
Library staff members will also assist faculty in making photocopies. Each photocopy of copyrighted material to be added to the reserve collection must clearly identify the source of the material on the first page. A single copy of a photocopied item may be placed on reserve for more than one semester. The date that the photocopies are put on reserve will be stamped on the first page of all copies. If multiple copies of copyrighted materials are needed for reserve a second time, permission must be obtained from the publisher to do so.
