1. Faculty supplied reserve materials are limited to:
   • single articles or chapters; several charts, graphs or illustrations; or other small parts of a work
   • a small part of the materials required for the course
   • copies of materials that a faculty member or the library already possesses legally (i.e., by purchase, license, fair use, interlibrary loan, etc.).
2. Electronic and print reserve copies should each contain:
   • any copyright notice on the original
   • appropriate citations and attributions to the source
3. Explain access to students enrolled in the class and administrative staff as needed.
   • electronic: students search by course name or professor
   • print (e.g. hard copy books): students need title and call number
4. Each instructor is responsible for deciding whether to seek copyright permission.
5. Obtain permission each term for materials that will be used repeatedly by the same instructor for the same class. 
6. Library staff will terminate access at the end of the class term.
7. Any material may be placed on reserve unless restricted by Prior Health Sciences Library space limitations or policies. Place materials on reserve by using the reserve request form at http://library.med.ohio-state.edu/2920.cfm
