In order to produce the best image, the library staff will need the best quality copy. Library staff will make every effort to reduce the size of the document so that it will load quickly. If faculty wish to expedite request, they may send documents via e-mail or by bringing materials directly to the circulation department. All electronic reserves will be removed at the end of the semester. Subsequent use of copyrighted materials will require copyright permissions.
Faculty are responsible for notifying the circulation staff to reactivate course materials.
The library policy for electronic reserve services is derived from the fair use provisions of the United States Copyright Act of 1976. Section 107 of the Copyright Act permits the making of multiple copies for classroom use. The collections of the College of Charleston libraries are purchased by the College for the nonprofit educational use of students and faculty. All library materials are acquired with the understanding that there will be multiple uses of a limited number of copies. Libraries frequently pay a premium institutional subscription price for journals, that is many times the individual subscription price, for the privilege of supporting multiple academic users.
