Library-owned materials or instructors' personal copies may be placed on reserve
at the Library Circulation and Media Desk, phone: 206-546-4556 or 206-546-4529
or by filling out a Reserve request form:
print materials or
media items (DVDs, CDs, etc).
Allow 24-48 hours for processing traditional formats; allow more time at the
beginning of the quarter. Requests will be processed in the order received.
Personal items will be returned at the end of the indicated time by way of
campus mail. The library cannot assume responsibility for loss or damage of
personal copies.
Items placed on library reserve function as an extension of classroom
readings. As such, copyright law and guidelines which apply to the distribution
of materials in a formal classroom are applicable. Copyright law (Title 17 U.S.
Code [link]) governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of
copyrighted material. Copies for reserve use must be made in compliance with the
"
fair use" provisions of Section 107 of the US Copyright law.
Faculty are responsible for complying with copyright law for items they place on
reserve in the library. The library will not place any items on reserve we know
are not in compliance with copyright law.
Digital information can be placed on electronic reserve if
copyright and licensing allow. Electronic reserves can take the
form of existing digital documents (pdf, Word, Excel, etc.), scanned material,
or links to internet sites, including articles in journal databases that we
license. Electronic reserves that require scanning usually require more lead
time (2 weeks). Contact us (206-456-4556 or
email us) if you are interested.
Course reserve lists are found in the online
catalog. Links to electronic reserve items are contained in the record for
that item. Access to copyrighted electronic reserve documents requires a course
password.
