Faculty may place <u>personally owned items<\/u> on course reserve (often referred to simply as &ldquo;on reserve&rdquo;). Instructors may also request that <u>specific library holdings<\/u> be placed on course reserve. Typical items placed on course reserve are books, textbooks, DVDs and course notes or scanned\/photocopied articles burned onto a CD. At the instructor&rsquo;s request, the library will recall an item from any borrower should it be needed for placement on course reserve. The library does expect that all items placed on reserve are in compliance with copyright laws. For information about placing items on course reserve, please call the Circulation Desk at (218) 755-3345.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bemidjistate.edu\/library\/work-study-opportunities\/course-reserves\/#top\">Return to Top<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Placing an Item on Course Reserve &ndash; Items Owned By The Instructor<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Identify the item or items you wish to place on course reserve.<\/li>\n<li>Obtain a &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bemidjistate.edu\/library\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/94\/2022\/03\/Reserve_Request_2021.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Request to Place Items on Course Reserve<\/a>&rdquo; form for each <u>title<\/u> you wish to place on reserve.

For each set of Course Notes (quizzes, answer sets, etc.) the instructor will need to copy them to a CD. The library will assign a single reserve ID number by which students may request the item throughout the entire term. When sending a CD to be added to the specific course reserve, be sure to indicate the instructor&rsquo;s name and the reserve ID number.<\/p>\n<h3>Photocopied Readings, Scanned and Copied to a CD<\/h3>\n<p>The instructor has 8 readings which he or she has assigned students to read during the course of the term. There are two readings for each of four topics. Here are several ways the instructor can choose to have the items on reserve.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em><strong>Group each pair of readings by topic and give each group a topic name<\/strong><\/em>. When filling out the &ldquo;Request to Place Items on Course Reserve,&rdquo; use each topic&rsquo;s name as the title of each grouping. <strong>Then, copy the readings to a CD and label the CD or the CD case. <\/strong>The library will use the topic name as the title of the item doing a Course Reserves search in Library OneSearch.\n<ul>\n<li>Advantages: Keeps readings together by topic so students get the correct pair of readings for a topic.<\/li>\n<li>Disadvantages: Students trying to search for item by using title of an individual reading may not recognize or find while doing a Course Reserves search.<\/li>\n<li>Recommendation: If using this option, make certain the syllabus indicates the topic name for each pair of readings; also, it&rsquo;s good to include (or announce) the course reserve ID number. This option usually works best for courses conducted as small seminars.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><em><strong>Place each reading on course reserve on individual CDs.<\/strong><\/em> The library will use the reading&rsquo;s title as the title of the item doing a Course Reserves search in Library OneSearch.\n<ul>\n<li>Advantages: Likely easier for students to search for item in the catalog.<\/li>\n<li>Disadvantages: Students need to give more attention to discerning which titles form a pair of readings.<\/li>\n<li>Recommendation: This option works best with larger numbers of students, especially if there are multiple copies of each reading.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><em><strong>Place all of the readings on course reserve as a single CD.<\/strong><\/em> The library will use whatever title the instructor supplied on the &ldquo;Request to Place Items on Course Reserve&rdquo; form.\n<ul>\n<li>Advantages: All readings are on a single CD, from which students can quickly print, save or email as needed.<\/li>\n<li>Disadvantages: Students may have difficulties determining the correct reading, and one borrower can tie up all of the readings do they aren&rsquo;t available for others.<\/li>\n<li>Recommendation: This option usually works best for courses conducted as small seminars.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bemidjistate.edu\/library\/work-study-opportunities\/course-reserves\/#top\">Return to Top<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Suggestions from the Library Staff<\/h2>\n<p>If you plan to direct numerous students to a specific volume or issue of a periodical, please request that the item be placed on course reserve, preferably with a loan period of 3-hours, in-library-use only.<\/p>\n<p>Please be sure to include the course number and the desired loan period when submitting your request to place an item on course reserve. When this information is missing it usually results in a delay of at least half a day while we try to contact you to supply the information.<\/p>\n<p>Please do <strong><em>not<\/em><\/strong> announce the use of a reserve item before checking to make sure it has become available as a course reserve item. If students know a library-owned item will be a course reserve reading before the library has had a chance to put it on course reserve, it is likely to get checked out before we can get to it, which simply makes it more difficult to get it on course reserve promptly.<\/p>\n<p>The library encourages you to announce your course reserve items&rsquo; reserve ID numbers to your class or put them in your syllabus. These numbers look something like this: <strong>B-123-456<\/strong> (for an item located on the course reserve bookshelves) or <strong>C-123-456<\/strong> (for an item kept in course reserve on CDs) &mdash; The beginning letter of the course reserve ID number will reflect the format of the item(s): B = Book, C = CD, D = DVD, V = VHS Tape, etc..<\/p>\n<p>Finally, we would also encourage you to create <a href=\"https:\/\/libguides.bemidjistate.edu\/c.php?g=1208405\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Persistent Links<i title=\"External link\" class=\"bsu-icon bsu-icon-external-link small ms-1\"><\/i><\/a> to online articles and post these to your D2L course page.
