Our goal is to process material within 48-72 hours, but at peak times, the material may take longer to be made available. Materials received after 4 pm or on a weekend will not be processed until the next working day. 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. 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.
