Course Reserves
Fall 2007: KSL announced a new Reserve system that gives faculty more flexibility and feedback on what's happening with their Reserve materials—logon with your Case network ID and create a class (set up a proxy so your teaching assistant can also enter items for you), add notes, switch to student mode to see how it looks, and more. View transaction-tracking just like your ILLiad account, so you can see the status of your reserve submission, and get usage statistics, set alerts for your students, and enjoy other new features.
KSL Reserves is now fully 24x7, from the submission process to online use by your students! Talk with KSL Reserve staff to learn more, or log on now to KSL Reserves and begin with the helpful main-page links.
Our Mission Supports Your Mission
KSL supports the educational mission by parterning with faculty to organize and present supplemental materials "on reserve" for quick and easy access by students. Instructors determine these supplemental items and for print materials, choose from a variety of time periods so students can share them. E-Reserves include notes, syllabi, urls to electronic content that is licensed to Case students, and is authenticated via Case network ID & password, for 24x7 access. The KSL Main Service Desk staff offers nearly 100 hours a week of service with library staff to assist instructors and students with submissions and reserve use.
Copyright Compliance Statement—Use of Copyrighted Works in KSL Reserves
As a research institution, Case both creates and uses significant amounts of new ideas and prior works. Case and the Kelvin Smith Library comply with federal copyright laws to provide the balance that fosters such academic freedom and growth while also respecting scholarship. Federal law also provides exemptions for the use of copyrighted works under certain circumstances, and Case and KSL affirm the appropriate use of such exemptions.
KSL has established Course Reserve Best Practices and Guidelines for instructors, and in doing so, has sought and received legal approval for its Course Reserve policies. KSL studies The Copyright Act and the Fair Use Doctrine, Guidelines for Classroom Copying, policies of library associations such as the Association of Research Libraries, and monitors changes and events in the legal landscape. KSL also provides copyright awareness through CaseLearns, the Copyright@Case site, the Course Reserve web pages, and library staff. Each instructor, whether creating personal web pages, class web pages, or submitting materials for KSL Course Reserves, is encouraged to gain an understanding of copyright compliance and make good faith informed decisions.
