Class Reserves
Class Reserve materials are kept at the circulation desk in both the Main Library and in the Music Department Office for Music and Dance students. These materials are placed on reserve at the request of faculty and consist of the required readings for courses which are currently in session. Course materials may include books, journal articles, CDs, video tapes, slides or other materials.
How to look up reserve titles:
1. You can search your course number in the library catalog
http://catalog.cornish.edu/ReserveFind.asp
to see a list of titles on reserve for that class.2. Current reserve lists are kept in a binder at the circulation desk. These lists are arranged alphabetically by the professor's last name.
The circulation policy for course reserves is as follows:
- 2-Hour reserve materials must be used in the library.
- Overnight loans are due back by the end of business hours the next day.
- 3 Day loans are due back by the end of business hours on the third day.
- 1 Week loans are due back by the end of business hours on the seventh day.
The due date is stamped on the item.
A valid Cornish ID is required to check reserve items out. Up to 3 items may taken at a time. If you have any questions about course reserves, please ask the staff member at the circulation desk.
WHAT TO PLACE ON RESERVE
- You can place Cornish library materials on reserve at the circulation desk for students to use on a limited basis. This allows many people to share access to a few titles over the course of a semester.
- We cannot put materials from other libraries on reserve.
- Faculty can bring personal copies to place on reserve, but the library will need to put adhesive labels on everything that circulates.
- If the library doesn't have a title you need for reserve, ask about purchasing it. The Library will prioritize titles needed for reserve (within budget capability).
RESERVE LOCATIONS
Depending on where your class meets, you have the option of placing materials
on reserve at the Main Library or the Music Department Office in Kerry (for
Music and Dance students only). Please be sure to tell your students where you
are putting the reserves since we do not have the classes cross referenced at
both locations.
CIRCULATION OPTIONS
2-Hour / Library-Use-Only materials
must be used in the library for 2 hours.
Overnight loans are due back by the
end of business hours the next day.

HOW TO PLACE MATERIALS ON RESERVE
You can download a copy of the CLASS RESERVE FORM
here. Please fill it out completely and submit it to the Main Library circulation
desk or Sarah Mulvihill in the Music Office; wherever you want the material
on reserve. Allow three to five days for processing -- it takes time to process
the many lists we receive and staff is especially busy at the beginning of the
semester. To get a head start, bring your list in before classes start. Please
do not tell students the material is ready the same day you bring the list in.
COURSE PACKETS, COPYING AND COPYRIGHT
If you want students to have photocopies of entire course packets (large collections
of articles and excerpts from books), put a master copy at a nearby photo-copy
shop so students can buy copies directly. Don't put one copy on reserve in the
library and expect each student to copy it on the coin-op machine or walk it
to the nearest copy shop. If you want to have one copy in the library for students
who can't afford to purchase the packet we can put one on reserve for 2-hour/Library-Use-Only.
Library Reserves is not intended as a mechanism for skirting copyright permission.
- Get copyright permission. This is required if you want to distribute multiple copies of complete works (articles or books). At this point there is no college wide policy or procedures on obtaining copyright clearance for coursepacks. See your department chair or coordinator for instructions.
- Local copy stores.
- Perfect Copy & Print - (206) 325-4733 at 132 Broadway East (SE corner of Broadway and John). They can set up course packets with minimal paperwork. You just have to sign a statement saying you have addressed all copyright requirements.
