The Course Reserves and Copyright Services office is here to assist you with placing material on Reserve for your students to access in support of your class instruction.

There are 2 types of course reserves:

• Electronic: Material uploaded into your Blackboard course shell
• Traditional: Material located at the Course Reserves and Copyright Services desk

NOTE: Traditional Reserves are not available for Off-Campus Programs courses.

The Course Reserves and Copyright Services office will:

• Secure permission to use material (if necessary)
• Obtain copies of the requested material
• Upload material into your Blackboard shell
• Process library and personal items to be located at the Course Reserves desk

All requests for copyright permission should be submitted to the Course Reserves and Copyright Services office twelve weeks prior to the start of class.
