| 1. Why are materials placed on reserve? |
Materials are placed on Reserves and Electronic Reserves (ERes) only
at the request of Saint Louis University faculty members for the non-commercial,
educational use of their students.
|
| 2. What materials may be placed on reserve? |
- Appropriate materials for Reserves and ERes include, but are not limited
to lecture notes, past examinations, government publications, other public
domain materials, articles from journals, and book chapters.
- Books, videos, CDs and other materials may be placed on
Traditional Reserve for 2 hour, 3 hour or 3 day check out.
- Public domain materials, government documents and links may be placed
on reserve without any copyright restrictions.
- Persistent links will be provided (in ERes) for articles in licensed
journals and databases or for electronic books whenever possible.
|
| 3. Can student work be placed on Reserve? |
| To place a student’s work on Reserves or ERes, written
permission from the student is needed and must be submitted with the request. |
| 4. Can an item be placed on both
traditional reserve and ERes? |
| No. Materials placed on ERes will not be placed
on Traditional Reserves. |
| 5. Do the Libraries have to own material to put it on reserve? |
| All materials placed on Reserves and ERes must be legally
obtained and owned by the Libraries, another unit of the University, or
the instructor; or licensed by Saint Louis University or one of its divisions. |
| 6. Can I place an entire book on ERes? |
| Lengthy works that are under copyright, such as complete books, will
not be placed on ERes unless the work is out of print and the faculty member
provides documented permission from the copyright holder. (Emails are not
acceptable documentation.) |
| 7. Can I place copyrighted material on Reserve? |
| Yes, however, copyrighted materials must follow “Fair Use” guidelines
as set by the U.S. Copyright Law. See SLU Libraries Reserves and
Electronic Reserves Guide. |
| 8. What should I do if I am not
sure my material falls under Fair Use? |
| If there is doubt about fair use of certain reserve materials, copyright
permission will be sought from the copyright holder, in most instances by
the Libraries. |
| 9. How do the Libraries apply for copyright permission? |
| The Libraries will apply for permission through the Copyright Clearance
Center (CCC), or to the copyright holder directly if CCC cannot provide
copyright permission. |
| 10. Are copyright permissions free? |
| Generally, copyright permissions are not free. The Libraries will pay
for copyright permission, but reserve the right to refuse materials for Reserves
and ERes when the cost for copyright permission is too high. The Libraries’ policy
regarding payment of copyright fees is subject to change contingent upon
library budget constraints. |
| 11. What happens if the Libraries
are denied copyright permission for certain materials? |
| The Libraries will immediately remove any
materials that are denied copyright permission. In the case of denial, the
instructor will be notified. |
| 12. Can I use materials for
subsequent classes and semesters? |
| All copyrighted materials that are repeatedly used in subsequent semesters,
must have copyright permission. |
| 13. Will the Library purchase
items for reserve? |
| Materials not owned or licensed by the Libraries will be purchased whenever
possible. |
| 14. How do students get to ERes? |
| Access to materials on ERes is available only from the ERes
Web page by the Department or instructor's name and is limited by password
to students enrolled in each course. Electronic reserve course pages are
removed at the end of each semester. |
| 15. Do students need to worry
about copyright? |
| In ERes, students must click on an “Accept” button
agreeing to adhere to the terms of the copyright notice that appears prior
to accessing the content for each course. In addition, the full bibliographic
citation and a notice that copyright law may cover the material appear on the
first page of each item on ERes. As long as students use the photocopy or reproduction
for "private study, scholarship, or research" and
do not use "a photocopy or reproduction for purposes
in excess of fair use", they should not have to worry. |
| 16. Are students charged for
access? |
| Students are not charged for access. If students choose to print an item,
the charge is limited to the cost of printing. |
