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 -- Tom Riedel Distance Learning Librarian Regis University D-20 3333 Regis Blvd Denver, CO 80221 303-458-4261 fax: 303-964-5497 [log in to unmask]
