Preparing
Reserve Lists
The Access Services staff wishes to make the reserve operation
as pleasant as possible for students, faculty and staff. We offer
the following guidelines in response to faculty requests for more
explicit details.
Reserve lists should be submitted 4-5 weeks prior to the beginning
of each semester either online or
in paper form available at the circulation desk.
The library welcomes orders for additional copies of books needed
for reserve. An electronic order form is accessible at: www.mtholyoke.edu/lits/library/orderform.shtml.
Orders will be expedited if submitted with the reserve list. If
an order has already been submitted, please mark "on order"
next the item on your reserve list.
Library owned copies of bound
and
unbound journals are not placed on reserve. All photocopied materials
should be clearly identified with author, title, and publication
information. Periodical literature should also include vol., date,
and pages. Due to copyright issues we will not put coursepacks
on
reserve.
Lists of items owned by the Mount Holyoke College Library should
include complete call numbers. When chapters or parts of books
are
needed for reserve, library staff will place our copy of the book
on reserve.
Requesting materials from 5 College Libraries for Mount Holyoke
College reserves is limited to out-of-print materials or items
we
have on order. Please do not borrow the item from a Five College
Library directly. We will contact their reserve department to
make
the arrangements.
If you would like materials scanned for Electronic Reserves please
submit documents at the circulation desk.
What
are the differences between e-reserves and “coursepacks?”
* Coursepacks
are bundles of paper documents that together may constitute
the text for a course.
* E-reserve documents are required
readings assigned to augment and enhance course content found
in the text and the classroom; they are not intended to replace
the text or to shift the cost of what would normally be coursepack
materials from students to the library.
Please contact Rozelynn
Douglas if you have any questions (x2433).
