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.
