If using e-reserves, the library will obtain permission to place the requested copyrighted material online. Policies, procedures and guidelines to use the electronic reserve system are posted on the Library Website.

Course Readings Posted to Blackboard or Websites

When class readings are placed on Blackboard or a course Website, first determine whether the use of the material falls within the fair use guidelines. Consult the Copyright Decision Map and the Checklist for Fair Use before seeking permission. If, in the analysis, the item does not fall within the allowed usage, then it is the instructor's responsibility to seek permission. The library offers suggestions for this procedure on our Website also.
