How to Request Library Books for Class Reserve
Textbooks: Faculty are encouraged to place personal copies of textbooks on 2-hour reserve at the library. Students who request that the library purchase textbooks will be referred back to the instructor of the course. If the faculty member does not have a personal copy and feels it is important to have the book on reserve, he/she may request that the library purchase it. It will be paid for with the academic department's library allocation.
Electronic Course Readings: Many electronic resources within library databases can be linked to directly, avoiding the need for paper reserves and creating legitimate access that does not infringe on copyright.
