Course reserves are required reading materials your professor assigns for your particular class. Electronic reserves may be accessed from anywhere on or off-campus. Physical reserves are for in-library use only for a limited time period. Within certain copyright restrictions, faculty and instructors can place materials on reserves for a course they are teaching by filling out a form. |
Our Copyright and Plagiarism guide should provide a good starting point for questions related to using materials in research and/or teaching. If you are uncertain on how to interpret this or need further guidance your library liaison can also help you with issues related to copyright, plagiarism, and attribution. |
