Spring 2023 semester: Friday, January 6th
Faculty are strongly encouraged to submit course reserve processing requests by the deadline date. All submissions after the deadline date will be processed in order of receipt and may take longer for processing after classes have begun. In addition, any course reserve requests that include new library purchases may take up to 2 weeks for processing.
Course reserve processing requests after classes have begun may take up to 7 business days for processing.
Faculty can submit electronic reserve requests by sending requests via email to adamsreserves@ric.edu. Electronic reserves processing is available for book chapters, articles from bound periodicals, e-books, e-journals, streaming video, streaming music and photocopied material. Faculty can submit items already in electronic format via adamsreserves@ric.edu. Electronic format now available for electronic reserves include: pdf, jpg, gif, tiff, doc, ppt, html files and urls.
Reserves lists will be removed at the end of the semester, unless Reserves staff are notified to do otherwise.
Faculty should use the Course Reserve Request form to submit reserve processing requests.
Repeated use of reproductions from sources not owned by the Adams Library by the same professor for the same course in subsequent semesters requires that Adams Library either purchase the item or purchase permission from the copyright owner to use the item again. In those instances the Reserve staff will attempt to purchase permission via Copyright Clearance Center.
