Guidelines for Submitting Reserve Material

NOTICE: Warning concerning copyright restrictions
The copyright law of the United States (Title 17, United States Code) governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted material. This institution reserves the right to refuse to accept a copying order if, in its judgment, fulfillment of the order would involve violation of copyright law.

All materials submitted for course reserves must adhere to the University's copyright policy. For the policy please go to http://www.ua.edu/copyright.html.

Materials must be submitted ten business days prior to date needed.

All material must be submitted with completed reserve form, including citation for articles.

Forms may be obtained at all libraries and on the Libraries' web site.

Requests will be processed in the order they are received.

All reserve materials are placed on reserve alphabetically by title under the instructor's name and class.

To place print material owned by the Libraries on reserve, submit the print reserve form to the appropriate library.

Photocopies should be 8 1/2" X 11", legible, one-sided, and contain no black margins.

Please do not staple or punch holes in photocopies.

Photocopies should be either landscape or portrait, not both within the same document.

Photocopies that do not meet these requirements may be returned.

If an article is full text on a library database, you may submit your electronic reserve form to the appropriate library and the article will be linked to your reserve list. Click here for a list of Full Text Electronic Journals Available Through UA Databases.

All materials will be taken off reserve at the end of the semester, unless otherwise instructed.
