Information for Instructors

Course materials are placed on reserve at the request of instructors, who are responsible for insuring that reserve materials comply with copyright law. Types of materials that can be placed on reserve include resources from the Stan State Library collection and materials owned and provided by the instructor (copies made in accordance with copyright law will be accepted as well). The Library is not able to place on reserve materials borrowed from another library or obtained through rental for personal use.
