I am investigating the implementation of electronic reserves for our
library, and would like to draw upon the wisdom of those of you who have
gone before me. I am particularly interested in the ins and outs of
providing copyrighted materials (articles and book chapters) under fair
use guidelines to distant learners. I welcome any observations and
caveats, horror and success stories, but also have a few specific
questions:
--Do electronic files live on a library server? Are they accessible
through faculty course web pages? Both?
--How are users authenticated to protect copyright?
--Who is responsible for providing electronic files? Faculty? Library
staff?
--Aside from a scanner and computer, are there other equipment needs?
--Do you have an electronic reserves policy you would be willing to
share?
--Are there important questions I should be asking, but am not?
If you would like to respond to me directly, I can summarize later for
the list. I appreciate any and all input.
Thanks,
Tom
