Faculty members from BC Central or FAU Davie may place books and other course-related materials (including personal copies) on reserve for student use. While every effort will be made to protect personal material, the Library cannot be responsible for lost or damaged materials. All material placed on course reserve must comply with the Copyright Law (Title 17, U.S. Code). In compliance with copyright law, only one copy of photocopied materials may be placed on reserve. Exceptions to this rule are articles authored by the faculty member, solutions to problems of an unpublished nature, and federal or state laws or cases.

Forms for placing material on reserve are available online, on the library Web page, or at the Check Out/Check In Desk. A form should be completed and submitted with the reserve material. Allow five working days for the material to be processed. While students cannot access your reserve material online, they may search the “Reserves List” on the U/C Library’s Catalog Web page to see if the material is ready for use. At the end of each term, all reserve material will be returned to the faculty member unless prior arrangements have been made for continued reserve status. FAU Faculty can also put materials on e-reserves at the Boca campus library.

Students may search the Course Reserves List on the library’s Web page to see if the reserve material is ready for use. Material can be searched by instructor's name, title of the material, or course prefix and number. Materials found on the list can be checked out at the U/C Library Check Out/Check In Desk. Please have your Student ID and the Call Number of the item with you.

In compliance with Copyright Law, faculty members may reproduce one copy of a work NOT his or her own to be placed on reserve. To reproduce multiple copies of the same work is a violation of the Copyright Law. A faculty member is allowed to reproduce up to five copies only with a permission letter. If a permission letter is not in hand at the time the faculty member wishes to place the multiple copies on reserve then she/he must show proof that a permission letter is already in process. Permission is not needed for solutions to problems of an unpublished nature, the instructor's own articles, and federal or state laws or cases.
