Reserves Information for Faculty
The MHCC Library does not purchase textbooks. Rather, the Library works with instructors
to set up reserve collections for materials instructors feel should be readily
available for their students.
Instructors need to gather reserve materials from the Library collection or
provide copies from their own collection. Library AV materials may also be put
on reserve. Subject librarians can assist instructors
in locating relevant resources in the Library collection.
Questions about reserves may be directed to Diane
Schmitt at 503-491-7652.
Submitting Materials for Course Reserves:
 |
Instructors should fill out the Course
Reserves Form (PDF). This form is also available from the Check-out
Desk. The form must be filled out completely and brought to the Library
with the reserve materials. (After printing the form, click the Clear the
Form button before closing) |
|
Students must sign a FERPA release form to have
their materials (e.g. student papers) put on reserve. |
Instructors please note:
|
The instructor determines the loan period for reserve materials. See the
Course
Reserves Form (PDF) for loan period options. |
|
Please allow at least 48 hours for the processing of a reserve item before
assigning it to students. Materials will not be available for students’
use until fully processed. |
|
All reserve materials will be taken off reserve at the end of the quarter.
If the same materials are being used for the following quarter and comply
with the copyright laws, you must contact Diane
Schmitt. |
Copyright Information for Course Reserves:
|
Instructors may provide photocopies of personal course resources or of
copyrighted materials following acceptable "fair use" guidelines.
