The University of West Alabama Julia Tutwiler Library offers a reserve service in order to support the
teaching activities at the University. The Reserve Policy sets forth the
guidelines that control the reserve material. The Library exercises the right to
determine conditions of use and to refuse materials for reserve for legal or
other reasons.

Type of Material
Any faculty member or instructor
may place library books, personal books, articles, videotapes, and other
media on reserve. The items will be indexed under the name of the
instructor, as well as the course title.
Instructor’s personal books or
other materials may be placed on reserve. Personal items will be processed
following the reserve procedures, and will be marked to identify them as
reserve material. The Library will not assume responsibility for replacing worn,
damaged, or missing items.
-
Copyright Compliance
Only materials that fulfill
copyright regulations may be placed on reserve. Fulfillment requires a
photocopy of the journal’s statement of copyright.
All articles will be stamped
with a copyright notice. This copy can not be used again, since it is a
violation of copyright law.
Only one photocopy of an article
may be placed on reserve.
-
Reserve Forms
A reserve form will be sent to
university instructors within the first week of the semester. Reserve forms
are located on the Julia Tutwiler Library Homepage under
the Faculty Services link.
A completed reserve form must
accompany each reserve item that an instructor requests to be placed on
reserve. If an item is received without a form, the material will be sent
back to the instructor, along with a request to complete the needed
information for the item.
If an item is received with an
incomplete citation or the journal’s statement of copyright is missing,
the material will be sent back to the instructor
-
Processing Time
Most materials will be placed on
reserve within three (3) business days of the request.
