What is the purpose of the Reserve Collection?

The Basileiad Library Reserve Collection is intended as a tool for instructors to supplement and support classroom instruction.  Students are then able to review reserve materials for a period of two hours or less within the Library.  In doing this, classroom instruction is reinforced through supplemental texts, readings, class notes, practice exams, assignment solutions, videos, and other such materials.  Reference works that are regularly sought by students for specific assignments might also be placed on reserve to monitor access and minimize the potential for theft.


What materials can I put in the Reserve Collection?

Books, videos, CD ROMs, and audio books from both the Library collection and your personal collection may be placed on reserve. Some instructors may wish to place lecture notes, Power Point slides, practice exams, and assignment solutions on reserve.  You may also place journal articles and book chapters on reserve.  If you choose the latter, please be sure you familiarize yourself with the copyright and Fair Use information available at the Copyright Clearance Center.  The Librarian can assist you in further copyright information or questions you might have. 

How do I place something on Reserve?

For materials within the Library collection you can send an email request to The Librarian, including all pertinent information for location of the item(s), or bring the item(s) directly to the circulation desk.  For materials from your personal collection, simply bring the item(s) directly to the circulation desk.

How long will my materials be on reserve?

Materials are placed on reserve each semester.  The Librarian will send a list of the current items on reserve to all faculty members for review.  You may be asked to physically review the items you have on reserve to keep them current.
