Course Materials (储备)
找到课本, 阅读, dvd, and other materials set aside for course-specific use by your course instructor in WorldCat Course 储备.
The Course Materials (储备) Collection ensures that materials assigned for a class will be accessible to all students who need them. Books and other items are placed on Reserve for a specific course at the request of a faculty member.
Most 储备 have a 2-hour loan period or a 4-hour loan period. 学生 tip: if you 检查 out an item 2 hours before the Circulation Desk closes, it will be due 1 hour after the library opens the next morning! If the item is a personal copy of the instructor, the instructor may not want the item to leave the library and in that case, overnight 检查 out will not be allowed.
Placing an Item on Course Materials (储备)
Access Services handles all Course Materials (储备) requests. 教师 should submit requests for all library course reserve items using the 麦凯恩图书馆 Course Materials (储备) Form (印刷 & 电子书、电影等.). If you have any questions concerning the form submission, please email accessservices@qyygsl.com .
To ensure timely service, please submit Course Materials (储备) requests at least 3 days in advance of the date when they will be needed. In addition to items in McCain's holdings, personal copies of books, 教科书, or dvd may also be placed on Course Materials (储备).
Commercially rented items (i.e. films from Netflix) or interlibrary loaned materials (that belong to another institution) cannot be placed on Course Materials (储备). For more information regarding licensed materials and copyright, visit the McCain Copyright and Fair Use LibGuide.
Placing Personal Copies on Course Materials (储备)
教师 should complete a request card at the Circulation Desk or send an email to accessservices@qyygsl.com for any personal books, video, or sound recordings that you would like to place on reserve. 提交 cards and items to the Circulation Desk for processing. Be aware that personal items are subject to wear and tear, as well as potential loss, as are all library materials. 你可能想要 检查 if 麦凯恩图书馆 has a copy of the item before placing your personal copy on reserve, or you may decide to choose another title if your copy is rare, 昂贵的, 或者绝版.
文章链接
我们的许多人 研究数据库 enable faculty to create online reading lists that provide a link directly to a journal, 杂志, or newspaper article available in one of the library databases. Please contact the Head of Research & Instruction Services, Casey Long (404-471-6343 or clong@qyygsl.com), to learn how to create a reading list that is accessible to students through Canvas or consult the following 指南.
教科书
麦凯恩图书馆 does not buy all the required 教科书 for classes taught at Agnes Scott. Professors expect students to have personal copies to use in class and for studying. 然而, the library will consider using gift funds to purchase one copy, when requested to do so, in order to assist students in financial hardship. These 教科书 may be bought as ebooks or placed on Course Materials (储备) to allow access to a copy for all enrolled in the course. Note that the library cannot buy 教科书 with individual online codes for ancillary materials.

Controlled Digital Lending (CDL)
The library uses CDL to make 打印 editions of books we own available to students for set amounts of time, similar to physical reserves. When sections of a physical book are requested for virtual access, the library will digitally scan the requested pages and then make them available to the requestee in 2-hour increments. During that time the viewer cannot download, 打印, and/or share the PDF file, and the physical book is not available for loan to another patron. CDL allows the library to utilize our physical collections in a virtual space while still following established copyright law. If you would like the library to make 打印 materials available for your course reserves via CDL, 请让我们知道.
学生s will see the option to email accessservices@qyygsl.com for relevant CDL files in the Course Reserve listings.
