Arrange for your Course Reserves for Summer 2015- By May 11th
The libraries offers faculty, staff, and graduate assistants the opportunity to put library books, journal articles, and other materials, as well as personal copies of books, on reserve and make them available to students. The Reserves Service is available at Love Library, C.Y. Thompson Library and the other branch libraries.
Reserve lists turned in by May 11th shall have their items processed by the first day of the Summer Semester. Reserve requests turned in after the deadline will be processed in the order they are received.
Books can be physically put on reserve and made available in city and east campus libraries. You can request books from the UNL libraries to be placed on reserve by using the new electronic reserve form located at: http://libraries.unl.edu/docs/forms/CourseReservesProcessingRequestForm.pdf.
II. Electronic Reserves
The procedure for processing electronic reserves has changed. All electronic reserves are attached to each course and can only be accessed through My.UNL (Blackboard).
Course instructors will need to create a content area in the Blackboard tools box to directly link their electronic reserves. Know that each course especially cross-listed courses will need an individual content area created in Blackboard. Teacher Assistants enrolled in the course will also be allowed to create content areas. For more information on how to create a content area in Blackboard please follow this link: http://libraries.unl.edu/docs/forms/CreatingaNewContentAreainBlackboardforCourseReserves.pdf
Processing Time
A reserve list may take one to four business days for processing. Because we receive a great number of requests from Instructors, to place items on reserve, please be aware that materials will not be processed and available at the time of submission.
Requests submitted on the first day of class and during the first three weeks of the Fall, Spring, and Summer semesters may experience some delay in processing. In the event that the materials you request are unavailable, your request will also experience some delay.
IV. Removing Items from Reserve
Reserve materials will be removed one week after the corresponding session has ended, unless the class is to be taught the following semester. Copyrighted items may not be renewed for consecutive semesters unless a letter of approval from the publisher is submitted.
For more information about reserves please visit the Course Reserves section at http://libraries.unl.edu/reserve. For questions about Reserve services or a reserve request form contact Nicole St. Arnold, Love Library, 472-7696, nhruska2@unl.edu; or Gayleen Hill, CY Thompson Library, 472-4401, ghill1@unl.edu.
