Course Reserve Service

• All instructors of NTHU can put books, AV materials and other library resources on reserve for their class. After a set of procedures, the Library will place the materials as Course Reserves on the Smart Bookshelf for reference.
• Current issue journals, theses and dissertations cannot be placed on reserve.
• Instructors who use the Course Reserve Service are expected to know and respect Intellectual Property Rights. Instructors are assumed to take responsibility for any violation of Intellectual Property Rights.
• Reserves on display will last for a semester by default except under exceptional requests. After the semester ends, course reserve materials will be re-shelved to the appropriate locations.
• To avoid hindering privileges of library users, the Library has a statement of User's Guide for Course Reserves. The Library also provides an inquiry system for users to search specific course reserves through department, instructor, or course name.

Procedures

• After a semester ends and before a new semester starts, the Library sends an email to instructors reminding them to provide materials to be on reserve for the following semester.
• Once receiving the list of materials to be reserved, the Library will begin to look for, recall, or buy the materials on the list. However, since western publications take around two months to arrive, instructors need to be sure to send in their lists as soon as possible.
• Materials successfully set as Course Reserves will be displayed on the Smart Bookshelf (audio-visual materials will be at the audio-visual service counter) at the Main Library and the Course Reserve Sections of every branch. An ID is required to borrow these materials.
