Materials not available electronically may be found at the Circulation or Reserve desk of the library. To see what is available in the print reserves, search Leocat Voyager's Reserves by instructor name, course number, author name, or title.
Faculty may place articles and books on reserve for classes, and the materials can be checked out to students for limited time periods. Electronic and print reserves can be scanned or uploaded (if already available as an electronic file). We encourage you to place one or two things on reserve for this semester and obtain feedback from your students.
The Copyright Law of the United States (Title 17, United States Code) governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted material.
Under certain conditions specified in the law, libraries and archives are authorized to furnish a photocopy or other reproduction. One of these specified conditions is that the photocopy or reproduction is not to be "used for any purpose other than private study, scholarship, or research." If a user makes a request for, or later uses, a photocopy or reproduction for puposes in excess of "Fair Use", that user may be liable for copyright infringement.
The instructor must provide all reprinted material (including multiple copies) to be placed on Reserve; the instructor is therefore responsible for copyright compliance.
Electronic Course Reserves materials can be viewed electronically and are protected by copyright. The Copyright Law of the United States (Title 17 US Code Section 108) governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted material. Saint Leo University adheres to this statute by relying on the fair use provisions of the copyright law and by obtaining permission of the copyright holder where applicable.
Electronic Course Reserve procedures at Saint Leo University for materials protected by copyright rely on the fair use section of the Copyright Act of 1976. Section 107 of the Copyright Act identifies four factors which must all be met in determining fair use:
The purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes; The nature of the copyrighted work; The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and The effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.
Materials which do not require copyright permission include the exams, syllabi, and lecture notes of the instructor placing material on Electronic Reserves, government publications, a single journal or magazine article used for one semester, a single book chapter used for one semester, works of art used for one semester, or material for which the professor or instructor owns copyright.
Materials which require copyright permission are:
A journal article, magazine article, or book chapter intended for use for more than one semester.
Multiple chapters from a single book or multiple articles from a single journal or magazine.
