To ensure compliance with copyright law, the Library adheres to the following policies for reserve materials:
Basic requirements:
• The Library or faculty members must own the materials to be placed on reserve.
• Access to course reserves is removed at the end of the semester unless an instructor requests an extension.
Fair use guidelines (for a single class or a single semester):
• No more than 10% of a book
• No more than one article from each journal issue
• All material should include the title and copyright pages or the equivalent in full citation
• Articles should include volume and issue numbers
An instructor wishing to deviate from these guidelines must seek permission from the publisher of the book or article, in order for a copy to be added to their course reserves.
To add an item to our course reserves, please contact the Information Desk (816-604-2080) at Longview Library.
