Course Reserves

General

Upon request, the Library will place materials on reserve for reduced loan periods to maximize access for students. Loan periods range from 2 hours to 1 week. Materials that may be placed on reserve include books, CDs, photocopies of articles and book chapters, and videos/DVDs.

Copies placed on reserve must comply with appropriate copyright law/licensing agreements. Materials belonging to the Library or the requester can be placed on reserve.

Copy Reserves

Faculty and instructors may request copies of materials be placed on reserve by completing the online form and e-mailing or delivering the completed form to campus library circulation desks.

Guidelines:

Choose a 2 hour, 1 day, 2 day, 4 day, or 1 week loan period.
Provide the made available date and the item removal date. If no removal date is indicated, items will be removed at the end of each semester.
Indicate the desired number of copies required for each item.
Please include the most bibliographic citation information possible.

During peak periods, the amount of time it can take for an item to be placed on reserve may vary. Copies placed on reserve must comply with appropriate copyright law/licensing agreements. Please refer to Okanagan College's copyright FAQ for information related to copyright/licensing clearance and compliance.

Persistent Links & E-Reserves

The Library holds thousands of electronic books, magazines, journals, and newspapers. Persistent links to many of these items can be created and placed in the Library catalogue and/or Moodle course sites for quick access.

Depending on licensing agreements, electronic copies of certain articles may be posted to Moodle Course sites.
