Course Reserve Policies

General Notes on Course Reserves

• The IUPUC Library Course Reserves system is intended for last minute additions to the assigned class readings. Materials which are used repeatedly should be accessed through OnCourse or departmental servers.
• All requests for reserve items must be accompanied by a completed course reserve request form. These forms are available online on our Course Reserves Information Page. The form is available in both Word and PDF formats.
• The library cannot accept "recommended reading" materials for reserves. Bibliographies of recommended readings should be placed on OnCourse instead.
• The IUPUC Library will not pay royalties for making materials available on reserves. The Library staff will work with faculty members and the Copyright Management Center (http://www.copyright.iupui.edu/) to request permissions for the use of copyrighted works in the electronic reserve system. Acceptance of these materials for reserves is dependant upon the department's written consent of the royalty payment. Please see the Copyright Management Center for more information about fair use, copyright, and education.

• We can only place titles on reserve that are owned by the IUPUC Library or supplied by the instructor. If you wish to place an item on reserve that is not owned by the library, we will attempt to purchase the item. Other libraries' books cannot be placed on reserve. This includes books from other IU / Ivy Tech Libraries.
• Only original media materials, or licensed copies with proof of permission, will be accepted for reserves.
• Multiple copies of materials will be accepted at a ratio of 1 copy per :20 students.
• Electronic Books cannot be placed on reserve. Please instruct your students to search for and view eBooks in IUCAT (http://www.iucat.iu.edu/).
• Instructors may place personal copies of books or A/V materials on reserve at their own risk. Lost/damaged items cannot be replaced by the library.
• To speed processing, you can pull books or A/V materials from our colelction and turn them in with your forms, or just provide the call number and location of the items and the lLibrary staff will now retrieve the materials from the shelves for you. Failure to provide the call number and location will delay proccessing of your materials.

• All journal articles and book chapters will be scanned and made available on the electronic reserve system. We no longer have paper copies of articles/chapters available for checkout at the circulation desk.
• For each course, a maximum of two articles can be accepted for e-reserves from any single journal issue which is owned by any IU library.
• For each course, a maximum of one article can be accepted for e-reserves from any single journal issue which is not owned by any IU library.
• For requested materials from in-print or out-of-print books, no more than a single part/chapter or a maximum of 10% of a work, whichever is larger, will be scanned for e-reserves for a single course. Percentages are based upon the total number of pages in the volume.
• Requests for materials in excess of these limits will be referred to the the instructor / department for review and / or payment.

This policy of this library has been reviewed and approved by the Copyright Management Center and the Office of University Counsel.
