The types of items that may be placed on physical reserve include books, photocopies, videos, films, records, maps, etc. Book chapters and journal articles may be placed on electronic reserve. Such items may be drawn from the library's collections or from the Instructors' personal collections. I. Physical ReservesA valid MassArt I.D. card is required to charge physical reserve materials. Physical reserve materials are located behind the main Circulation Desk and must be used in the library, unless otherwise indicated by the instructor. The library provides access to a projector and a VCR to view films and videos on reserve. Patrons are limited to 3 reserve items at one time. During peak times (midterms and finals), patrons are limited to 1 reserve item at a time. Reserve materials are charged out for 3 hours. Fines begin to accrue after 3 hours. Fines
II. Electronic ReservesStudents will be able to access electronic reserve materials through the library catalog from any location with a connection to the internet and the ability to open .pdfs. Off–campus access will require an active MCA ID (e.g. firstname.lastname@massart.edu) and password – this would be the same way they access their MassArt email account. Placing Material on Reserve (Addressed to Faculty)To place items on reserve regardless of format, Instructors must fill out a Reserve Request Form. We ask that you give us up to two weeks to process materials for reserve. We process reserve materials in the order in which we receive them. Instructor owned material must be submitted with a completed Reserve Request Form. Please indicate on the Reserve Request Form if you wish your personal materials to remain unprocessed; we will be happy to accommodate you. The library's acquisition policy states that multiple copies of texts will only be purchased when the material is required reading in a course. Photocopies to be placed on electronic and physical reserve must be provided by the Instructor. The library assumes compliance with current copyright laws. Up to 3 copies of an item will be placed on physical reserve if indicated by the Instructor. The copies themselves have to be clean copies and compliant with copyright laws. Required elements for each photocopy:
CopyrightAll items must be taken off reserve at end of each semester in order to not violate copyright. Materials that may be placed on reserve under Fair Use copyright laws:
Materials that do not fall under Fair Use for which copyright permission should be sought before being placed on reserve by course instructor:
To obtain copyright clearance, the library suggests faculty contact the Copyright Clearance Center (http://www.copyright.com/) which offers an Academic Permission Service (APS) and will secure copyright permissions for a fee. Articles in Library DatabasesIf an article you wish to put on reserve appears in a database to which the library subscribes (e.g. JStor, ArtFullText, Infotrac, etc.), you do NOT need to submit a photocopy. We will link to them directly. Contact InformationAny questions about reserves may be directed to Lisa Harrington.
