1. How do I submit materials?

Faculty may submit photocopies of materials to be placed on electronic reserve to the staff at the library circulation desk. A signed copy of the "Reserve Form" must accompany the materials along with written copyright permission if needed.

2. How do I prepare my materials for submission?

Photocopies must be from the original document, not from a photocopy.
Photocopies must be as clear and clean as possible with no holes, staples, dark lines, or graphics; single-sided, 8 1/2" x 11"  pages; minimum of 1/4" margins on all sides.

Photocopies that do not meet this criteria will be returned.

Complete citations, as applicable, must be given for each item to be placed on reserve (both in-house and electronic). All copyrighted material must cite full bibliographic information on the first page.

A copy or handwritten facsimile of the original copyright notice must be included with the material.

Materials that exceed 25 pages will be scanned into the system in two parts. Please specify the page number where the break should occur.
Title of article on the "Reserve Form" must be the same as listed on the course syllabus in order to help students access the course material.
No complete books will be scanned for electronic reserve.

3. What formats will be supported?

Material may be submitted in the following formats: - Photocopies (will be converted to PDF documents) - electronic formats:

Note: Electronic formats must be submitted on a disk with the filename indicated on the "ReserveForm" and the disk.

4. When will my students be able to access materials?

Processing for electronic reserve could take up to two weeks. Please submit as early as possible.

Circulation staff will process reserve and electronic reserve material in the order received. The staff will be glad to assist you with any other questions about reserve (both in-house and electronic). Contact us at: 352-4156, or e-mail mlane@regent.edu.
