The CISAT Library provides a Course Reserve service to support graduate and undergraduate classes. Faculty may place high demand or specialized materials on reserve with restricted loan periods. Reserve materials may include library owned articles, books, videotapes, CD's, audiocassettes and personal copies of material. Access to reserve materials is open to current JMU faculty, students, and staff.
JMU Libraries reserves the right to decline placing any item on reserve that lacks copyright permission if the nature, scope, or extent is judged by the library to exceed the reasonable limits of fair use. For example, longer works, such as complete books, or consumables such as workbooks, will not be copied for reserves.
Documents placed onto course web sites or into Blackboard course sites are not under the control of the JMU Libraries and are not reviewed for copyright compliance. However, we are glad to consult with faculty to help determine whether or not a document or documents on a course site is copyright compliant. Please ask Jeff Clark for assistance. |
