Manage Course Reserves
We work with you to provide free, equitable access to as many required textbooks as possible.
Add Course Materials
Suggest a purchase, or consider lending personal or department copies of textbooks, solutions manuals, and other course materials. We can also help you find, edit, or create quality open educational resources to reduce costs for your students.
All reserve materials must comply with the U.S. Copyright Law and UNE’s Copyright Policy. You may have a case for fair use. Use our Fair Use Checklist [PDF] to make an assessment.
Physical Materials
Request that we place items on reserve for your course, or bring a completed reserve form to the library information desk. Please allow 2 business days for processing. Your students can use physical course reserves in the library for two hours at a time.
We accept
- Anything from our physical or online collections.
- Personal copies of books, journals, CDs, and DVDs.
- Photocopies which meet copyright compliance guidelines with the following limitations:
- 1 chapter, article, poem, essay, story, illustration, or 2 excerpts from a single author book.
- 3 chapters, articles, poems, essays, stories or illustrations from a book with multiple authors or from a single journal issue.
We can’t accept
- Items borrowed from other libraries.
- Personal recordings of music, television or film.
Online Resources
We can add e-books, articles, and other online resources to course reserves.
If you would like to share links to individual titles or articles with students, please share a persistent link rather than PDF copies. Learn more about using our licensed online materials.
