Course reserves are an extension of the classroom. Reserve materials are usually in demand by many students over a short period of time and must be checked out for only a few hours or days. The service also allows faculty to provide students with access to items not in the library’s collection, such as personal books and audiovisual materials.

• Course Reserve Material Form must be completed and submitted to the Circulation Manager (slaforce@norwich.edu).
• Norwich University’s Copyright Guidelines must be followed. Please consult with Greg Sauer (ext. 2175 or gsauer@norwich.edu), if you have any questions regarding Copyright Law compliance.
• Course Reserves are covered under the Kreitzberg Library privacy guidelines. We cannot disclose who has checked out or not checked out course reserve materials.
• Items are removed from reserves at the end of each semester. Library items will be returned to the stacks and personal items will be returned to you via inter-departmental mail unless otherwise communicated with the Circulation Manager.
• We are unable to reserve interlibrary loans and bookstore rentals.

Only required course materials will be placed on reserve. Optional materials will not be processed. Materials may include

• library books, DVDs, and periodicals;
• personal books and DVDs (see below);
• copyright-compliant photocopies (see below);  or
• materials requested for purchase via Christa Stook (cstook@norwich.edu). Course reserve material form must be filled out and sent separately to Sarah LaForce (slaforce@norwich.edu).

• Reserves generally can be processed in two business days (M–F).
• Reserve requests submitted during the first two weeks of classes for the current semester may take up to four business days (M–F) to be processed.
• Items that are currently checked out to another patron or materials that the reserve staff must pull themselves will take longer to process.
• Ordered materials may take four weeks or more to be processed.

• Please write full name on inside front cover.
• Items will have a non-removable barcode attached to inside back cover for circulation purposes.
• The Kreitzberg Library is not responsible for loss, theft, or damage to personal items placed on reserve.

Photocopies must be

• neat, legible, not torn, and in compliance with copyright law;
• noted with your name and course number; and
• marked with the full bibliographic citation (author, title, volume, date, pages, etc.).

• We are unable to put electronic resources on reserve.
• See our Integrate Online Library Resources into NUoodle guide to learn about including links to licensed resources in your classroom.
