Guide for Placing Materials on Reserve in the Main Library Media Services Department

• Reserving video material will help ensure the availability of a video within the Media Services room during the hours the unit is open. Reserved videos may not be checked out from the Media Services unit except to be shown in a class by an instructor.
• Please indicate whether this is a new list or reactivation of a previous semester's list.
• Lists are processed in the order received.
• If there is a video that is not currently owned, please use the request form located at http://www.lib.uiowa.edu/forms/media_purchase.html

Additional Information:

1. Weekly Reserve For example, an instructor may put a video on reserve for a week or so depending on need to ensure the availability of the video for the class to watch. We will also need a date that the video will be shown in class. While a video is on reserve it may not leave the Media Services Department unless approved by the Instructor placing the reserve.
   
   Semester Reserve Instructors may put video material on reserve to use all semester. They can still be checked out by other instructors but not by students. You are asked to take it off reserve if you find that you don't need it for the whole semester.
   
   
2. Personal Copies The Media Services unit will accept instructor or student-owned videos for reserve use. Those placing their own video material on reserve must inform staff regarding the category of reserve and must retrieve the material at the end of the reserve period. Media Services staff cannot accept responsibility for the return of the video material nor responsibility for damage to or theft of the material while it is in reserve status. Video material not retrieved will be disposed of eventually. Exceptions to these guidelines are made in consultation with the Media Services Supervisor.
   
   

Please do not assign reserved materials until you have received confirmation that your list has been processed. Thank you.
