Are there any copyright restrictions for what I can put on Library Reserves?


Instructors can place materials on Library Reserve to give students reliable access to high-demand items through short loan periods.
 

The following can be placed on reserves without concern for copyright clearance: 

  • Original works (library- or instructor-owned) 
  • Articles or book chapters (as long as the copy is in compliance with copyright law)


If permission is needed to place an item on reserve, the Reserves team will work with the Copyright Advisor to seek that permission.  

The Library currently reviews course textbook lists and places items held in the collection on reserve to ensure the best access to students.
