Reserve Guidelines
- Please limit the number of items for each course to a maximum of 50.
- A maximum of four copies per individual item will be accepted unless a demand is demonstrated.
- Reserve items should be submitted at least two weeks prior to the beginning of classes to ensure that material is available for the beginning of term.
- Faculty members using the paper Reserve Processing Form are responsible for retrieving and providing items to be placed on reserve. Library staff will retrieve material listed on the online Reserve Processing Form, except for personal copies, which must still be provided by faculty.

- Photocopied material must abide by the Copyright Act and the Access Copyright agreement. It is the responsibility of the faculty member to obtain written permission from the author/publisher before material which exceeds the Copyright guidelines can be placed on Reserve. A copy of these guidelines is available at the Circulation Desk and on the Bookstore Access Copyright information page.
- Requests will be processed in the order in which they are received.
