FACULTY: Course Reserves

Print/Physical Reserves are materials that belong to you or the college. They can consist of books, videos, articles, and other materials. Materials on reserve are kept in a special collection behind the Circulation Desk and can only be checked out by students with a valid LSC student ID card.

The following items can be placed on print/physical reserves in the library:

• Department, instructor, and spare copies
• Library materials​​
• Printed items/articles
• DVDs
• Plays
• Lab workbooks
• Reference books​​

Placing an item on Print/Physical Reserves is easy!

1. Complete the LSC Libraries Reserve Request Form.

2. Bring your item(s) to the Library Circulation Desk.

3. Renew your item each semester.

Original copies of college-owned items, not including consumables, may be digitized and distributed with Controlled Digital Lending protections via the library’s electronic reserve system. 

Personally owned, gifted, or copied/reproduced items, including examination/review copies, require written permission from the publisher/copyright holder.

Physical print items can be digitized into a read-only copy for your students using Controlled Digital Lending.  Faculty will receive a link to the digital item that can be shared with students to access through a free app, MyDocs. 

While the item is available digitally, the physical item may not be checked out by students. Only one digital copy may be available at a time for each owned physical copy (example 1 Physical Copy = 1 Digital Copy, 2 Physical Copies = 2 Digital Copies). One student may view a digital item at a time. If the item is not available students may leave an email to be notified when it is available.  CDL loan periods are consistent with print loan periods.
