D. Reserve supervisors may request instructors with lengthy or complex reserve lists to limit their lists to required materials when constraints on reserve space and staff time make fulfillment of requests difficult. E. Most library and personal materials may be placed on reserve. Equipment such as calculators, cassette players, portable microfiche readers, ect. On reading lists given to students, instructors should clearly indicate the items on reserve, the library unit where the reserve materials are located, and the data elements necessary to enable students to find the materials. The instructor's name, teaching assistant's name, and course name and number should be noted on each reading list.
Reserve needs take precedence over individual research needs.
For this reason materials are recalled from borrowers for reserve regardless of the length of time the materials have been checked out to them. A rush order for the item will be placed when in compliance with the collection development policies of the library. As a general rule copies will be purchased based on the size of the class, the expense of the materials, and anticipated use. A ratio of one copy to thirty students may be used as a guideline. Reserve supervisors will consult with the appropriate bibliographer to acquire more copies when necessary.
