Course Reserves
Memorial Library offers reserve services to any faculty member who wishes to place material on Course Reserve for use by students. A valid Berry College ID is needed for checkout of Traditional Reserves and most Electronic Reserve links will require a password which is available from the course instructor.
Types of Course Reserves
Traditional Reserves
Physical items such as books, readings, media, text solutions, geological samples, etc. are kept at the Circulation Desk for checkout by students enrolled in a particular course.
Electronic Reserves
Electronic Reserves (E-Reserves) are available online via the library's web site 24 hours a day. Most E-reserves require Adobe Acrobat Reader software which is already loaded on all campus workstations and is available for free download.
General Reserves
General Reserves can be traditional or electronic reserves but are not tied to a particular course. General Reserve items include laptop computers, academic writing style guides such as APA or MLA guides, a collection of course syllabi, materials for committee use, and select Berry College publications.
Circulation Policies
Use of Traditional Reserves is limited to a 2 hour, 24 hour, or one week check out established in advance by the course instructor. Any material not returned at the specified due time will accumulate overdue fines on an hourly basis at a specified rate. There is no grace period for Course Reserve items.
