The libraries at Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³» adhere to the Fair Use Guidelines<\/a>\u00a0of United States Copyright Law (Title 17, USC, Sect. 101, et seq.). When submitting course reserve requests, instructors need to complete the appropriate form, whether for\u00a0e-reserves<\/a>\u00a0(electronic reserves)\u00a0or\u00a0physical reserves<\/a>.<\/p>\n E-reserves provide access via the library\u2019s course reserve system to digital versions of course materials, including journal or newspaper articles, book chapters, and student papers. Faculty are encouraged to post these types of items to their Canvas course pages for ease of access for students; however, if necessary, the library can facilitate adding them to e-reserves.<\/p>\n Physical reserves are course materials (books, DVDs, sample exams, etc.) that are reserved for use by specific classes. These may be checked out at the main desk and are for in-library use only. E-reserves offer students online access to course materials. As mentioned above, faculty are encouraged to post these types of items to their Canvas course pages for ease of access for the students.<\/p>\n Upon request, library staff will scan and upload legally obtained (library or faculty-owned original copy) course materials to the library’s online course reserves platform.\u00a0 Only e-reserves in compliance with Fair Use Guidelines<\/a> will be processed.<\/p>\n In order to protect copyrighted materials, e-reserves made available through the library\u2019s online reserve platform are password-protected. The instructor will assign a password when filling out the e-reserve request form and then distribute the password exclusively to students enrolled in that class. The instructor\u2019s Canvas course page is an ideal place to post an e-reserve password.\u00a0Library staff will not distribute passwords to individuals.<\/em><\/p>\n Please note that each e-reserve item has a 25-page limit and may take up to three working days to process.\u00a0 To request an e-reserve, please contact the library by emailing maincirculation@rivier.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n Whenever possible and when the university’s license permits, instructors are encouraged to use a persistent link to the full text of documents or articles available in the library\u2019s subscription databases and to link to them within their course management systems (see the Canvas section below).<\/p>\n Linking to e-books and articles through a Canvas course page is the preferred alternative to e-reserves. Students simply click a persistent link and, if off-campus, enter their Rivier e-mail address and password to access course materials. Directions for finding and using persistent links can be found in the Canvas Persistent Links Guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n The following guidelines apply for placing journal articles and book chapters on e-reserve:<\/p>\n E-reserves will be removed from the reserve system at the end of each semester. Materials may be kept on reserve for additional semesters if the instructor provides documentation that permission has been granted by the copyright holder.\u00a0 Copies of all letters of permission will be kept on file at the library.<\/p>\n Article links or PDFs from the Harvard Business Review<\/em> must have prior approval from Harvard Business School Publishing before posting to course management systems, electronic reserves, electronic course packs, or “any other means of incorporating the content into course resources” (see statement below). Permissions may include fees.<\/p>\n Library staff will not upload\u00a0articles from the Harvard Business Review<\/em>\u00a0into the library reserves system. Instructors need to seek permission from Harvard Business School Publishing on their own (which may\u00a0include fees) before posting links to or PDFs of articles from the Harvard Business Review<\/em> to Canvas.<\/p>\n The following statement appears on\u00a0articles from the Harvard Business Review<\/em> in Business Source Premier, an EBSCO database:<\/p>\n Harvard Business Review Notice of Use Restrictions, May 2009 Harvard Business Review and Harvard Business Publishing Newsletter content on EBSCOhost is licensed for the private individual use of authorized EBSCOhost users.

To place personal materials on reserve, please bring the item(s) to the library after completing either form.<\/p>\n Course packs may not be placed on either physical reserve or e-reserve.<\/p>\n Student papers and exams must have a signed student release form<\/a> from each student.<\/p>\n Materials borrowed from another library, through interlibrary loan or from rental companies may not be placed on reserve.<\/p>\n Materials will be processed in the order received. Please submit reserve requests in advance of assigned readings so that we have adequate time to process your materials. Physical reserves are usually available within 48 hours (Monday-Friday).<\/p>\n Physical reserves will be removed from the reserve system at the end of each semester. Instructor-owned items removed from course reserve will be held at the library temporarily. If not picked up, they will be sent to the appropriate departmental offices through campus mail.<\/p>\n Materials may be kept on reserve for additional semesters if the instructor provides documentation that permission has been granted from the copyright holder. Copies of all letters of permission will be kept on file at the library.<\/p>\n There may be other instances in which\u00a0Fair Use Guidelines<\/a>\u00a0require copyright permission. Faculty may seek copyright permission through the\u00a0Copyright Clearance Center<\/a>. A copy of permissions will be kept on file at the library.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Rivier\u00a0University Libraries The libraries at Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³» adhere to the Fair Use Guidelines\u00a0of United States Copyright Law (Title 17, USC, Sect. 101, et seq.).
