Individual users who wish to make photocopies of copyrighted reserve materials for personal use are responsible for complying with fair use provisions and/or all notices and warnings posted on reproduction equipment (i.e., copiers, printers, etc.) concerning copyright compliance. Posted notices read as follows:
NOTICE WARNING CONCERNING COPYRIGHT RESTRICTIONS. The copyright law of the United States (Title 17, United States Code) governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted material. Libraries and archives furnish unsupervised photocopy or other reproduction equipment for the convenience of and use by patrons. Under 17 U.S.C. § 108(f)(2) the provision of unsupervised photocopy or reproduction equipment for use by patrons does not excuse the person who uses the reproduction equipment from liability for copyright infringement for any such act, or for any later use of such copy or phonorecord, if it exceeds fair use as provided by section 107 or any other provision of the copyright law. This institution reserves the right to refuse to make available or provide access to photocopy or other reproduction equipment if, in its judgment, use of such equipment would involve violation of copyright law.
Any item that is part of the Library’s circulating collection (i.e., books, A/V materials) may be put on reserve for a course. Faculty may also put personal materials on reserve. Please note that personal items may be damaged by photocopying or heavy use. The Library assumes no liability for damaged or missing personal materials.
Books received from other libraries via interlibrary loan or I-Share may not be placed on reserve.
Photocopies of articles may be placed in reserve folders if they are not available electronically in one of the Library’s databases, and if they are in accord with one or more of the following criteria:
Photocopies of substantial portions of books or journal issues are not covered under the Fair Use provisions, and may not be placed on reserve unless they meet one of the first three criteria listed above.
Photocopies obtained via interlibrary loan or I-Share for personal research may not be placed on reserve. Please consult with a member of the Library faculty for assistance with acquiring permissions in these cases.
Instructors on the Chicago and Vancouver campuses submit their course book information by form each semester. The Library will place a copy of each of the titles on reserve and will purchase e-books when the title is available in that format.
If you do not submit your book list by the deadline, we cannot guarantee that your reserve books will be ready for your students by the first day of class. We are also not able to purchase books that fall outside of our collecting scope. In either of these cases, you may place your personal copy of the book on reserve in the Library.
The Adler University Library owns e-book versions of some of the required readings for courses in Online Campus programs.
Important note: Access levels vary by title so we recommend that you purchase a personal copy to guarantee access to your required readings. Some books have only 1 copy available to read at any time, so if another student is already using that title, you won't be able to. If a book has unlimited access, any number of students may read it at one time.
