print material on reserve
at the Shawnee State University Library?

material put on reserve?

to put items on reserve as soon as they are received. Please allow
at least 24 hours. At the beginning of the semester, additional time

What kind of copyright permission do
I need to put materials on reserve?
Individual chapters from a book or a

permission. If you would like your students to have multiple copies
of the same book or article available, it will be necessary to
contact the publisher for copyright permission. Copyright law states
that the number of copies placed on reserve should be reasonable in
light of the number of students enrolled in the course. The general
rule has been one copy for every 10 students. The library will need a
copy of this copyright permission.
How long may items stay on reserve?
Items may stay on reserve for one
semester. At the end of each semester, library staff will contact
faculty to determine if the items should remain on reserve.
If no longer needed on reserve or if the staff is not notified,
personal items will be returned to the owner and library items will be
returned to the collection
