Course reserves is a service provided by the UWB/CCC Campus
Library to support UW Bothell and Cascadia Community College courses. Course
reserves are designed to provide a high level of access to materials that are in
demand by a large number of students. Materials are taken from the open stacks, placed in the
open or closed reserves areas on the first floor of the Campus Library and given short loan periods to
maximize access to materials. Reserve fines are set at a high level to motivate
borrowers to return material on time for use by other patrons. Some materials
can also be placed on electronic reserves (e-reserves) which can be accessed
full-text via the World Wide Web.
Course reserve materials may include:
Copyright and workload issues determine what materials may be placed on
reserve. There is no deadline for submitting materials for reserve.
All materials will be processed in the order they are received and may take up to two weeks to process during busy periods. Every
effort will be made to process items for reserve by the time they will be needed
for class; however, we cannot guarantee same day or 24 hour service on last
minute requests. Copyright permissions for items that do not fall under Fair Use must be
obtained by the instructor before they are placed on reserve. For information regarding
copyright and Fair Use, please see Copyright and
Reserves and Copyright Information for Educators Electronic reserves are made available by the Campus Library through ERes, a
Web-based reserves system. Electronic reserves are produced by scanning or converting print material
provided by the instructor into PDF (portable document format), which can only be opened with Adobe Acrobat
Reader (version 6.0 or better is recommended to ensure stability when printing). Most campus terminals have this
application. If you need it for your home or work computer, you can download Adobe Acrobat Reader for
free.
Instructors are responsible for monitoring the quality of the photocopies
submitted to the Campus Library. Documents lose some quality when
converted to PDF so it is best to provide the highest quality photocopies
possible.
In lieu of photocopies, you may submit your personal or library books for scanning to
the reserves staff in the Materials Processing Office, LB1-311.
PDF, HTML, Word, Excel or other files in electronic format may be submitted as email attachments
or on disks. Reserves staff will not pull, page, photocopy, or search for materials for faculty.
If you need assistance locating a book or article, please contact the liaison
for your course.
If you are submitting photocopies, please follow these guidelines: After scanning, photocopies are kept in the
Materials Processing Office until the end of the quarter. Photocopies will
not be placed on hard copy reserve unless requested. Due to increased activity in reserves, we will no longer process materials
for UWS and UWT courses. Please contact the appropriate reserves unit. If you would like someone from the Campus Library to provide a
demonstration of the electronic reserve system to your class, please contact
your librarian. If you are planning to place copies of your required and
optional textbooks on
reserve in the Campus Library, please provide your textbook list to the reserves
staff as soon
as you place your orders with the Book Store. Please submit your
textbook list by email, phone,
or mail. New textbooks are rush ordered for
reserve but depending on
availability, it may take a few weeks to several months to receive cataloged
copies for the Library. Most reserve materials may have loan periods of 2
hours, 4 hours, 24 hours, 72 hours, or 168 hours. Textbooks
are placed on 72-hour reserve unless otherwise specified by the instructor.
Reserves staff may assign shorter loan periods to materials in high demand. Books ordered for reserve are often accompanied by a CD-ROM
supplement. Please indicate whether you would like the CD-ROM placed on reserve
and whether you would like student access to the CD-ROM from library
workstations. Please note that installation on library workstations requires
advance notice. If you have any questions regarding library access to CD-ROMs,
please contact Rob Estes at 425-352-5242 or
libhelp@uwb.edu. Most books owned by the UW Libraries may be placed on reserve. Please submit your
supplemental book list by email, phone,
or mail. Books not owned by the UW Libraries may be ordered through the
appropriate subject librarian. Instructors may place personal copies of books on reserve at the owner's
risk. Unless otherwise requested, personal copies will be available for
pick up in the Materials Processing Office at the end of the quarter. Media materials owned by the UW Libraries may be placed on reserve through
the Campus Media Center (CMC).
