  • Faculty are responsible for photocopying materials for Reserve and must submit one copy of each item with the reserve request form. Photocopies are the property of the faculty member and will be returned at the end of the semester. The use of photocopies on Reserve is subject to the U.S. Copyright Law. Please read the Library's Copyright Compliance Guidelines for Reserves, which is available and at the Reserve Desk.
  • Personal copies of materials may be placed on Reserve but at the faculty member's own risk. The Library cannot be responsible for damage or loss of personal materials.
  • Books belonging to other libraries may not be placed on Reserve.
