When making photocopies for your students or using text, pictures, or other forms of media for the classroom, it may be important for you to understand the “fair use” guidelines for using copyrighted materials. The University of Texas, Austin, provides a clear definition and discussion of copyright, including “rules of thumb”, and the “four factor test”. However, be aware of their disclaimer: “this information must not be relied on as a substitute for obtaining legal advice from a licensed attorney.”
The Association of Research Libraries provides a handy one-page chart on what instructors can and cannot copy for class purposes. It, too, comes with a disclaimer!
Another good site is “Copyright and Fair Use” from the Stanford University Libraries. And here’s their list of guidelines for what instructors can use for “non-course pack” materials under the Fair Use provision of copyright.
For 24 pages of copyright information straight from the United States Copyright Office, read “Reproduction of Copyrighted Works by Educators and Librarians, Circular 21.”

Have a librarian come into your class! Class presentations can be as long or as brief as needed, and give students a valuable starting point on research assignments while helping them realize they have allies in the library to turn to when questions arise. Classes must be scheduled AT LEAST one week in advance.

What can a Library Instruction Session do for my class?
- Give a quick introduction of the reference librarian and the library (5 minutes), so that students have a face and a name they recognize when the need for research assistance strikes.
- A presentation that briefly covers subject-specific library and online resources relating to an assignment. (15-20 minutes) Citation styles can also be covered on request!
- A longer class session with increased opportunities for students to immediately “try out” the concepts covered. In a computer lab, this could be independent research time with the librarian on hand to answer questions or, in a regular classroom, group activities without access to computers.
- Class tours of the library (30 minutes)

The Reserve collection contains a selection of instructor-owned textbooks, tapes, and handbooks placed in the library by the instructors for the use of their students, and are especially useful to students studying for an upcoming test or dealing with textbook shortage issues at the beginning of a term. All distance education and Humanities / Social Science instructional VHS/DVD collections are also available as Reserve items, listed in the library catalog.
Each instructor will determine the conditions for the loan of their own curriculum materials on Reserve. Some examples of current checkout periods in our Reserve collection include:
- 30 minutes
- 3 hours
- overnight
- 3 day checkout
Most items that checkout for periods shorter than overnight are designated "in-library use only."
Late items do incur fines, typically $0.25 per hour. Be sure to ask when the item is due; you are responsible until it is returned. Reserve items are available during the library's regular hours from the Circulation desk.
Contact Valerie Miltko to place items on Reserve or for further information:
