How to place items on reserve?
Faculty who wish to place items on reserve should fill out an online Course Reserves Request Form for each item. Library owned items will be collected by the library staff – you only need to submit your online requests and/or bring to the Circulation desk your personal copies. Please submit your requests for Course Reserves at least three (3) days before you assign it to your students. This will give us enough time to recall any items that are checked out.
When completing the form please observe the following:
- Indicate the title of the item to be placed on reserve, the way you wish your students to retrieve it. Once you enter the basic item information, you should select "format" and fill in as many fields as possible from the pre-determined template form. The library staff will edit and finalize it as needed.
- If the item is not needed for the whole term, specify the date by which it should be removed. You can also divide material in categories (folders) under a title (e.g. material for course project / material for weeks 2-5).
- For photocopies of book chapters or journal articles, you need to provide full bibliographic information (the original source). The library needs at least one copy for use in the library (2-hour loan). An additional copy may be added for use outside the library (2-day loan).
- Material in Greek needs to be cleared through the department heads.
If your course has been offered previously and you wish to use the same materials, please let us know and we can roll over the materials to the next semester.
