Many library resources in support of coursework, scholarship, and research are now provided electronically to the campus community, through the Libraries website.\u00a0Libraries continues also to host print reserve materials across campus and has recently standardized its reserve policy for print reserves to lessen confusion for those using the reserve system and ensure that reserves are available to all students as equitably as possible. (Effective date: January 9, 2012)<\/p>\n
Print reserves will continue to be held by request, behind the circulation desk and available for only a limited loan period. Submit print course reserve materials for spring semester by completing the form at www.lib.purdue.edu\/coursereserves<\/a>. Materials can be designated to a specific library, at either the two hour (standard) or one week loan period.<\/p>\n Reserve: 2 Hour Loan\u00a0– These items can now leave the library where they are checked out, but must be returned to the circulation desk of the lending library. No reserve items can be kept overnight and all reserves must be returned before the lending library closes for the day, even if this means the loan period is shortened.<\/p>\n Reserve: 1 Week Loan – Will circulate for 1 week.<\/p>\n Also, please use the reserve form<\/a> to have an item ordered to be placed on reserve that is not owned by the Libraries or is marked as “lost” or “missing” in the catalog www.lib.purdue.edu<\/a>; be sure to include the ISBN.<\/p>\n Review of process for other reserve materials<\/strong><\/span> Personal Copies<\/span>:\u00a0Libraries accepts personal copies to put on reserve, but due to copyright compliance, cannot accept items stating that it is an instructor or examination copy. Please bring personal copies of books or media to the service desk of the desired library. Print and complete the form at www.lib.purdue.edu\/coursereserves<\/a> and submit with personal copies.<\/p>\n Media<\/span>:\u00a0Media items can be placed on reserve at the Hicks Undergraduate Library using this form www.lib.purdue.edu\/coursereserves<\/a>.\u00a0Media viewing equipment is available in Hicks.
