Place Materials on Reserve

Copyright | ICON and Journal Articles

Instructors can place Library materials, personal textbooks, and other items on reserve for a class:

• Use the online request form or bring items in person to the Business Library.
• If you bring material to the Library, indicate your name and the course number.
• Loan times are usually 2 hours, though a 1- or 3-day loan is available.
• If needed, material can be restricted to use only within the Library.
• Submit items early! At busy times of the year, reserves may take up to 10 days to process.
• Materials the Library orders may require 4 to 6 weeks to arrive.

Note that personal materials may be damaged by heavy use, are stolen occasionally, or may not be returned by a borrower. The Libraries cannot replace missing or damaged personal materials.

It is the instructor's responsibility to find out if materials fall within the "fair use" definition for teaching:

Business Research Course: Competitive Intelligence Resources (06B:050)

Taught by a business librarian, this one credit-hour course meets for six weeks and introduces students to business research tools and strategies. Three sections are offered during the Fall and Spring semesters.

Contact Kimberly Bloedel, Business Reference Librarian (353-0151), for more information.

Course Description

The purpose of this course is to introduce students to concepts and sources of business information. Sources are available in different formats, such as print, CD-ROM, and online databases. Students can use all of these tools at the Pomerantz Business Library (C320 PBB), in the PBB Computer Lab, and at various workstations throughout campus. In most cases, off-campus access is available. Students receive a series of handouts during the course. Some class time is used for hands-on instruction. In addition, four assignments require students to use the online resources.
