The Library scans reserve materials and makes them available through the Course Documents section of a Blackboard course. If you are interested in managing your own Blackboard page, please contact the Reserves Department at Magill Library (reserves@haverford.edu or 610-896-1176) or the Academic Computing Center (610-896-1045) for information. Online documentation is available at http://www.haverford.edu/acc/docs/network/blackboard/bbhelp.htm and http://www.haverford.edu/acc/docs/network/blackboard/bbinstructor_guide.pdf.

To submit items for in-library reserves, see Submission Guidelines for In-Library Reserves.

The following policies and procedures apply to reserves that are housed at Magill Library. For information about policies and procedures at the Music Library, contact the Music Librarian; for Science Library information, contact the Science Librarian.

A separate course syllabus with dates or a dated reading list must be submitted for each course. If the syllabus or reading list is available on the Web or in electronic form (e.g. Word Document), please submit the URL or file by email to reserves@haverford.edu or on a disk to the Reserves Desk (Magill Circulation Desk). Reserve forms are available in Magill.

Provide one of the following:

1. Photocopies that are suitable for scanning, i.e., single-sided, clear, readable and of good quality, with ALL pages included. Do not staple or provide copies with highlighting and/or annotations. Please include full bibliographic citation on copied material.
2. Links to articles on the WWW.
3. Electronic documents in formats such as Word, HTML, PDF, Excel, PowerPoint, FileMaker Pro, etc.

These can be sent via email to the Reserves Department at reserves@haverford.edu or submitted on a floppy or zip disk.

Please keep in mind the following:

• Any and all photocopies are to be submitted by faculty. We cannot make copies for you.
• Electronic reserves are for required material only. Optional readings should go on print reserve.
• One chapter or up to 15% of an entire work (book or journal issue) is acceptable for electronic reserve, according to copyright guidelines. If more than that is submitted, the entire book will be placed on print reserve instead.
• To ensure prompt availability of materials at the beginning of the semester, please submit requests at least 2 weeks before the start of classes.
• We can require 3-5 days for processing electronic reserves. If such notice is not given, the item will go on print reserve.
• Articles are returned at the end of the semester.
