Course Reserves

Students:

Course Reserves are located in the DuBois Library behind the Circulation Desk. Be prepared to give the course number and name of your instructor. In order to borrow reserve materials, students must be registered with the library and present a Penn State ID.

To see whether an instructor has placed materials on reserve, go to http://www.libraries.psu.edu and click on the Course Reserves button under "Quick Links" and login. Enter your search term (you can search by instructor, course name, or course number) and click on the search type. The list of materials for your instructor or class will appear.

Instructors:

To place materials on course reserve at the DuBois Library, please complete a Course Reserve Form.  This form and the materials being placed on reserve must be submitted to the Circulation Desk in the Library.  If it is necessary to request materials from other Penn State Libraries, please submit your list and allow ample time for the items to arrive and be processed.  Please enter Course ID exactly as students ask for it at the Circulation Desk (ex. HDFS 129).  Use  a separate form for each course. The Library has up to three business days to process reserve materials. Full text electronic reserves (E-Reserves) are also available.

Please select a loan period on your request form.  This loan period will not be changed unless requested by the instructor.  Due to copyright law, photocopied materials must be given a 2 hour (Room Reserve) loan period and  limited to 3 copies.

At the end of each semester, reserve shelves are cleared and materials will be returned to the instructor.  If you wish to keep materials on reserve longer than one semester, please note this on your request form.  Students must use items on a regular basis for them to be kept on reserve longer than one semester.  Some materials are subject to copyright law and may not be retained longer than one semester.  Photocopied materials must be removed at the end of each semester.

The DuBois Campus Library follows certain procedures regarding course reserves and copyright issues. If you have any questions, please see our Course Reserve Policy and statement on Copyright and Fair Use.
