Personal materials submitted for reserve will be marked and labeled. Although the VCU Libraries will take reasonable precautions, we are not responsible for theft, damage, or mutilation of personal copies. You should submit the materials to the Libraries at least one week before they will be needed. If you need them to be available at the beginning of a semester, the materials need to be submitted at least three weeks prior to the first day of classes. Longer advance notice may be necessary to recall an item out on loan or to request the purchase of additional or replacement copies.
Items can remain on reserve for at least one week after the last day of the semester.
Materials can stay on reserve for an immediately succeeding semester, provided the course is being offered once again by the University. Copyright permission will be required for duplicated copyrighted materials that remain on reserve for more than one semester. For those items removed from reserves, personal materials and proof of copyright clearance may be picked up by the instructor or the materials will be returned to the instructor's office by campus mail at the end of each semester.
