Placing Materials on Electronic Reserve
What may be submitted:
- syllabi, lecture notes, tests or other material you have created
- student papers if you submit written permission from the student.
- articles from periodicals
- chapters from books
Form in which material may be submitted:
- MS Word documents on disk, electronic files (such as text files), or Adobe Acrobat pdf files, standard image files, and Powerpoint presentations.
- A clean, legible photocopy of the material
How to submit requests:
- Complete all portions of the Electronic Reserve List form.
- Include complete citations for photocopied materials for copyright purposes.
- Attach copies of any copyright permissions you have obtained.
- Bring the E-Reserve List form, print materials and/or electronic files (e.g., disks) to the Check-out Desk, located on the main (L-1) floor of the library or email the FORM and material to Heather Spencer (heather.spencer@uwp.edu).
Placing Materials on Traditional Reserve
What may be submitted:
- Books either from the UW-Parkside Library or your personal property. Library reference books will not be placed on reserve because they already have very limited circulation. Materials owned by another library will not be placed on reserve.
- Journal issues either from the UW-Parkside Library or your personal property. Issues will be placed on reserve only if the entire issue must be consulted. UW-P-owned issues will be kept on reserve no longer than one week.
- Software you own, limited to a two-hour check out period. Software owned by the UW-Parkside Library will not be placed on reserve as it already has a four-hour check out period.
- Videos, DVDs, sound recordings, kits, films, slides or transparencies, either from the UW-Parkside Library collection or your personal property.
- Programs off-air taped by Media Services. Contact the Media Services office at x2567 to make taping arrangements. Be sure to specify that the material is to be put on reserve (1-day), and indicate the course number. Only faculty may check out these videos for classroom use or to preview for possible purchase. For copyright reasons, the library must return these videos to Media Services at the end of a 45-day period.
- Student projects which need to be viewed in their original format, if you submit written permission from the student.
How to submit requests:
- Complete all portions of the Reserve Material form. You must choose one of the following check out periods: two-hour, one-day, three-day, or one-week. Consider the length of the assignment, the lead time for the assignment, the number of students per copy, and student convenience.
- Submit complete citations for all photocopied materials for copyright purposes
- Attach copies of any copyright permissions you have obtained..
- Bring the Reserve Material FORM and reserve materials to the Check-out Desk, located on the main (L-1) floor of the library. Circulation staff can retrieve library-owned books, but to speed of the process, you can locate library materials and bring them to the Check-out Desk yourself.
Other Considerations:
- Requests are processed in the order in which they are received. At the very least, requests should be submitted three working days before assignments are given. The earlier your request is submitted, the more certain you can be that items will be on reserve when your students need them. To help ensure that items are available at the beginning of a semester, submit your request six weeks before the semester starts Even with a six-week lead time, publisher or supplier delays could mean that items might not be on reserve when you wish
- For your convenience, the library is willing to photocopy individual journal articles, book chapters, or other materials requested for electronic reserve.
- Personal property (books, etc.) is placed on reserve at your own risk. Instructors whose personal property is damaged or lost must negotiate replacement with the borrower.
- Materials owned by another library will not be placed on reserve.
- Unless you instruct us otherwise in writing, your material will be removed from reserve and your personal copies will be returned to you at the end of each semester.
