Scenario:
An instructor would like to place several articles and book chapters on reserve at the Library for students to access electronically. Access will be limited to only those students enrolled in the class.

Response:
Traditionally libraries have provided short term, limited access to materials selected by instructors. Electronic reserve systems exploit new technologies that enhance reserve service and deliver 24/7 remote access to authorized, registered students. Applying the fair use provision of copyright law is critical in library electronic reserve services.

Instructors submitting materials to be posted on the Library's eReserve system are responsible for evaluating, on a case-by-case basis, whether the use of each copyrighted work requires permission or qualifies as fair use. When permissions are needed, instructors or their departments can contact the Copyright Permissions Center for assistance.
