Edgewood College Copyright Policy
Print Course Packs
The college bookstore will handle obtaining copyright clearance and put together printed course packs for Edgewood faculty. You will need to fill out a Request Form for each selected reading and submit with a photocopy of the original. See Stephanie Pope in the Book Store or call ext. 2213 for information.
Reserve Readings
It is always acceptable to put books, videos or other original material on reserve in the library for students to use there. The library also provides access to electronic reserves through a pass worded e-reserve system that can also be linked to a class BlackBoard web site.
See Course Reserves on the library website for submission forms and our policy. Be sure that all material submitted for reserve meet the guidelines below.
