Collection Development Policy

Reserve

The Reserve Collection is comprised of print and media items available for checkout at the circulation desk on the first floor of the library and electronically stored materials accessible from personal computers with Internet access and Adobe Acrobat Reader software. The collection provides limited access to materials in support of current courses offered at UW-Stevens Point. Materials are placed on reserve on a semester basis at the request of the faculty and include materials from the circulating collection, materials belonging to the faculty, photocopies, sample tests, music, audio lectures, and electronic files. Faculty are responsible for meeting copyright compliance guidelines for photocopies placed on traditional or electronic reserve. Reserve items circulate for shorter periods of time to ensure access to all students in the class.
