Reserves for Faculty

Placing material on reserve each term:
To process new reserve material, it will be necessary to submit a signed Reserves Form (PDF) and the article, along with all pertinent information, to the Circulation Department at least 5 working days before the item is assigned. Part-time instructors are advised to have an updated patron record in our files. Please call (678) 891-3642 or email Susan Her to check on this. For those submitting articles to be placed on e-reserve, an electronic file of the article is preferable, although we do accept hardcopies. E-reserve article submissions are accepted in PDF and Microsoft Word formats. Note that each course will need a different password for those accessing e-reserves. Please keep in mind that due to the volume of requests, material needed at the beginning of the term will require two weeks' processing time. All items will be processed in the order received.

Reviewing materials currently on reserve:
Viewing current reserve items can be done through GIL, the online catalog. GIL contains a list of reserve items available at the Circulation Desk. You also may come to the Circulation Department of the Library to review the items that you currently have on reserve. Ask Susan Her to remove those items you no longer need for the current term. Unless otherwise instructed, all material will be removed at the end of the term and held for you in the Circulation Department. After one month it will be discarded.

Please remind your students that a GPC AccessCard or another valid photo ID is REQUIRED to check out Reserve Items. Please let your students know your e-reserve password and the assigned item number. The Library will not give out passwords. A note in your syllabus with these reminders would be very helpful.
