To ensure that materials for your FALL 2007 courses will be on reserve at Case Library or Cooley Science Library (Natural Sciences and Mathematics Division) by the first day of classes, please submit your list/s by July 31, 2007.

IF YOU ARE REPEATING YOUR SPRING 2007 COURSE, please notify the reserve coordinator as soon as possible: Case Library, Ricki Mueller, or Science Library, Marty Glenar.

We cannot guarantee that materials on lists received after JULY 31 will be available in time. All requests will be processed in the order received. Additions to your reserve received during the semester may take up to three business days to process. Please plan accordingly.

• The 2-hour reserve period works well for required reading materials and keeps them available for frequent use. Students will be allowed to use CASE RESERVES in Case Geyer for period of up to two hours. COOLEY RESERVES will retain the same borrowing policies as in previous semesters.
• The 3-day reserve period is useful for materials which several students will need for writing papers during the term.
• The 1-day (24 hours) reserve period is useful for items that need a bit longer reading period but not enough to qualify for the 3-day loan.

• You may place your own materials on reserve. THESE ITEMS CANNOT BE REMOVED FROM THE LIBRARY OVERNIGHT WITHOUT YOUR WRITTEN PERMISSION PRIOR TO CHECKOUT.

• We recommend one copy for every ten students depending on the length of the reading. If additional copies of books will be required, please let us know and we will order them. Also let us know if your bookstore order included extra copies that the library could purchase. Please allow three weeks for delivery and processing of new books. The library will pay for the first two books ordered; additional copies could be charged to your department.

• All films (videos/DVDs) scheduled for class viewing are put on a 3-hour library-use-only for students at Case Library. If you need assistance with equipment, scheduling a room, or showing a film please contact Media Services at x7239 or see the e-mail contact information listed below.

• All articles will be scanned and attached to your Blackboard course site and available ONLY to students registered therein. There will be no paper copies of articles at Case Library/Reserves Desk. Please provide students with complete bibliographic information in your syllabus. All articles submitted for posting on Blackboard must have a complete citation.
