The Reserves Request and Copyright Compliance forms are available online above (PDF) or at the reserve desks of respective libraries. Contact your Reserves Coordinator if you need help.

Basic information regarding "Fair Use" and the "Agreement on Guidelines for Classroom Copying" are available at reserve desks, or from library reserves coordinators.

Most reserve materials time sensitive. Items are processed in order received and are made available as soon as possible. Faculty are requested to have material in at least 2 weeks before students will begin requesting them. Late requests may mean students cannot get timely access to required readings.

Copyright guidelines adopted by libraries apply especially to photocopied materials, restricting the number, kind, and length of time photocopies are kept on reserve. Photocopies will not be accepted without a copyright compliance certification form (see Forms to Place Items on Reserve above). Articles can Usually be on reserve for only one semester, unless prior permission from the copyright holder has been obtained.
 
When bringing articles to place on reserve, please include the copyright information printed at the beginning of the article or the publication.  Also include your preferred and complete citation to assist students when looking up the item. 

For electronic scanning. readable copies without black edges or staples are best. Your preferred and complete citation should be noted or added to the reserve form. Please include any copyright information as printed in the publication. 

Most books from the UST Libraries general collections can be placed on reserve.  Books from a non-circulating collection and from other schools cannot ordinarily be put on reserve. You may bring in a personal copy or send a purchase request through your library liaison (Plan well ahead as acquiring a book can take time!).

At the end of each semester, all photocopied articles need to be removed from reserves. They cannot be "rolled over." 

If you wish to keep library books or your own personal books on reserve, call the reserve desks before the anticipated withdrawal date (usually the end of each semester).
