Reserves Policy

Items are put on reserve for one semester only.

Items put on reserve must be associated with a specific course.
Use of reserve items will be limited to Dowling students, faculty, and staff.
Any personal copies put on reserve will be processed for library use (i.e., barcoded, labeled, etc.) and returned at the end of the semester.
If the reserve item is a chapter of a book owned by the Library, the chapter will be scanned in as a PDF file and put on Electronic Reserve.
If an article is available full text in one of the Library's subscription databases and licenses permit, a durable link will be created to that article. Additional photocopies of the article will not be placed on reserve.
Faculty may also request that the Library purchase material they wish to place on reserve. Please allow enough time for orders to be processed and fulfilled.
