Photocopied Materials
To be in compliance with copyright law, the library requires complete citations for each item. The requirements can be found at the bottom of the reserve request form. The copyright information page must accompany all single chapters and articles. Instructors wanting to place multiple articles/chapters (collections) on reserve must have written copyright permission.
The library will comply with U.S. copyright law in determining which photocopied materials may be placed on reserve.
BREVITY: Generally speaking, this means that a faculty member may submit a single chapter from a book, a single article from a journal issue, a short story, an essay, a short poem, a chart, a diagram, etc. The article, chapter, short story, or essay should not exceed 2500 words. A poem should not exceed 250 words.
SPONTANEITY: Photocopied materials may be placed on reserve for one semester. The library will stamp a copyright notice on the first page of photocopied materials. Any item returned to you at the end of the semester with a red copyright warning stamp will not be placed on reserve again without written copyright permission. If the professor requires that the materials be on reserve for two or more semesters, permission must be obtained from the copyright holder.
CUMULATIVE EFFECT: The copies will be used in only one course; and not more than one short poem, article, story, essay or two excerpts may be copied from the same author, nor more than three from the same collection.
The Access Services Librarian has the final responsibility for determining the number of copies placed on reserve. The guidelines state "a reasonable number."
Student Projects
Written permission must be included from all students involved in the project if the projects are to be placed on reserve for more than one semester.
