How to Place Course Reserves (Faculty)

Our services are available to faculty who wish to restrict loan periods and/or provide electronic access to assigned readings in order to make them available to a maximum number of students. The three types of reserves at Hosch Library are Traditional Reserves, Electronic Reserves, and Faculty Video Reserves. Please refer to our Reserves brochure for more information. Items placed on reserve will be processed as efficiently as possible in the order in which they are received. Reserve items must be accompanied by a completed reserve form. Materials will not be processed without the appropriate Reserve Request form. Please print this form, fill it out, and drop it off at the Library with the materials you would like to place on reserve.  A new form must be submitted EVERY semester. The Library makes every attempt to respect the boundaries of the Fair Use Clause of copyright law. Please note that the Library does NOT take responsibility for copyright clearance or permissions.  Please refer to the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia copyright guidelines at: http://www.uhyperlinkssg.edu/legal/copyright/ .
