Course Reserves for Faculty
Course materials can be made available in hard copy at Case-Geyer and Cooley Science libraries or electronically via Moodle.
Items placed on reserve must adhere to the Libraries’ Copyright Policy.
After all initial submissions have been processed, staff are usually able to make reserve items available within two business days. If digitization is needed this can take longer.
Faculty-owned materials cannot be removed from the Libraries overnight without your written permission prior to checkout.
Items borrowed from another library or rented cannot be placed on reserve.
Circulation staff will stamp all physical copies with a copyright notice: “Notice: This material may be protected by copyright law. (Title 17 U.S. Code).”

Digitization of Video Clips
The Colgate University Libraries and ITS will digitize video clips for faculty to use in teaching and will be made available to stream for in-class viewing.
NOTE: Clips are made available for internal teaching, research, and educational uses only and not for external distribution. The service is not for entire videos* but only for short scenes or collections of scenes. The standard for copying a video without copyright permission for a first use is three minutes or 10% of the total work, whichever is less. Video clip requests are processed in the order they are received and will require a minimum of one week.
*If the requester can produce permissions, owns the copyright, or other rights apply larger portions may be digitized.
Viewing Your Reserve List
You can search for your hard copy reserve lists in the online catalog by instructor, course name, or course number. As soon as items are placed on reserve, they will appear in the catalog.
For electronic reserves, see your Moodle course page. Faculty members need to activate viewing privileges for their students through the Moodle interface.
