Preparing EReserves & Online Course Readings
|
|
Faculty may place class readings
and other course materials online for their students'
convenience. How you request copyright clearance
and manage the process depends on whether your class
readings are mounted on the Library's Electronic
Reserve systems (ERes or OAK), or on non-library
course management software or your
own Web pages.
Library Electronic Reserves Step-by-Step
|
|
1 |
Complete
the Electronic Reserves
Request Form of your choice.
The Excel form is preferred because it can be saved to your hard drive where it is available for modification and/or resubmission..
The Web
form automatically sends your information
both to the ereserves
library staff member you select, and to
Copyright Clearance. Please print the confirmation
screen for your records.
Providing complete information allows us to process your requests more quickly. |
|
2 |
If you used the Excel form, please submit it to the ereserves library staff member. as an e-mail attachment, or include a printout with your materials.
If you scanned and mounted materials without assistance from ereserves library staff, please submit the Excel form as an e-mail attachment directly to Copyright Clearance Services.

If you have material that is already in PDF format, please save the PDF files to a disc and deliver the disc to the ereserves contact.
If the files need to be scanned, please deliver
clean, unstapled, single-sided photocopies of
the items you listed to the ereserves
contact in the library you specified in
your request.
Please label the package with
your name, course, semester, and any desired
instructions, or simply include a printout of the Excel form.

Online Readings Using Non-Library Courseware
Faculty who create class pages outside
the Library's electronic reserves systems must still work
with Copyright Clearance when copyrighted items are involved.
If you rely entirely on non-Library courseware to post
your materials, your library's ereserves staff need not
be involved. Use the EReserves Excel form listing only copyrighted
works and send the form to CCS only.
CCS will handle any needed permissions. Please note that
permissions generally endure only for the semester for
which they are requested.
Faculty may of course mount their own
unpublished creations on their own Web pages, along with
any other works to which they own the copyright. Scanning
and placement of other works online should be discussed
with Copyright Clearance. (Rightsholders generally require
as a condition of permission that access to their work
be more securely limited than Web pages easily provide,
so this approach may not be desirable.)
