Checking
Out Reserve Items (Students)
As a supplement to the required text, faculty members may place books,
articles, or other materials on reserve status in the Library for students
to read. These materials aree for in-library use only and can't leave
the building, but students may check out the materials for a 3-hour period.
Students wishing to use reserve materials must present their student ID;
a student may check out up to three reserve items at any given time.
Placing Items on Reserve (Faculty)
Faculty members may leave materials on reserve status in the Library
for student use. These materials will be for in-house use only and will
not circulate.
Faculty members who wish to place materials on reserve status must bring
the materials to Tammy Miller, Circulation Coordinator, at the Miller
Information Commons building.
Our system allows for cataloging of reserve materials. In order to make
this system work properly, each faculty member must have a current Champlain
College ID and Library account. (Please contact the Student Resource Center
to obtain an ID.) To ensure faster service, please make sure to fill out
a reserve form -- copies are available at the circulation desk, or you
may print the form below.
Faculty may place their personal copies of books, audiotapes, CDs and
videotapes on reserve. Materials from the Library collection may also
be put on reserve.
Un-bound materials, such as photocopies, reports, and sample tests, may
be placed on reserve in accordance with the following guidelines:
1. The faculty member should provide copies of the items to be placed
on reserve. The number of items depends on the size of the class. For
example, you may have as few as one or as many as four. This would be
three for student use, and one to keep as a replacement copy.
2. All pages of all copies should have a minimum 1" clear left margin
to allow for binding. If an article has less than a 1" margin, students
may be tempted to remove the article to photocopy. This could lead to
loss or stolen pages.
3. Each set of copies may be kept in a temporary binder or stapled to
a folder. Additional items may be added to the binders at any time during
the semester. Make sure to send as many copies as you have binders or
folders; this will ensure that there are identical sets of all items available.
When new items are added, they will be placed in the front of the binder.
4. Since binding and stapling will require putting holes in the items
submitted, it is recommended that you NOT submit your original copy, unless
holes will not be objectionable when the materials are returned.
5. We have had problems with reserve items being removed from the library.
We will placing a security code and pocket on all items. Please let the
Circulation Coordinator know if you do not want your materials altered.
The course material will be placed on reserve status for one semester.
At the end of each semester, all items will be taken off reserve status.
All non-library materials will be returned to the appropriate instructors
through campus mail.
Reserve Materials Form (Faculty)
Copies of the Reserve Materials Form are available at the Circulation
Desk, or you may print a copy of the form, fill it out, and bring it to
the library with your materials.
