Spring 2021: Course reserves submissions due by January 8, 2021
Course reserve processing requests received by the deadline date are guaranteed to be ready for the first week of classes. Requests received after the deadline date may take up to 7 business days for processing. Only e-reserves processing requests will be allowed for spring 2021 semester due to COVID-19 restrictions. No print reserves will be offered.
Important notice for fall 2020 reserves processing:
Due to the COVID-19 situation and according to the recommended guidelines from the REALM Project for quarantining library books, the Library is not able to allow print reserves offering books or notebooks for check-out. DVDs will be allowed for the fall 2020 semester. Faculty are strongly encouraged to submit e-reserves processing requests for book chapters and articles. Library staff are able to make 10% or less of a whole book available via e-reserves. Faculty are also encouraged to contact their library liaison in order to find electronic versions of print materials or alternative reading or viewing materials.
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.
