Course Reserves
The Mathematical and Computer Sciences Library provides course
reserve services for the Departments of Mathematics, Computer Sciences,
Statistics, and Operations Research (part of MS&E). Reserves
for some undergraduate classes may be available at Green Library.
Videotapes for Computer Science courses are housed at Green Library,
although many lectures are videostreamed through Stanford
Online. To determine the location(s) of reserve materials, consult
your class syllabus, or search the Reserves
file.
Course Reserve materials circulate for various loan periods (2 hrs to
3 days) as determined by the instructor. Some Course Reserve materials
may circulate overnight. To ensure the prompt discharge of reserve materials
from your record, please return these items by handing them to a staff
member at the Math/CS Library Circulation Desk. DO NOT return Reserve
materials to the outside bookdrop unless the library is closed.
Reserve Fines
Because ready and equal access to Course Reserve materials is critical,
stiff fines are assessed for overdue materials. Fines for overdue
Course Reserve items are $1.00/hour. Three days after the due date,
a bill is sent which includes the replacement cost, a $25 processing
fee, the maximum overdue fine, and a $5.00 nonrefundable billing fee,
and the user's privileges are blocked. We need and appreciate your
prompt action in helping make Course Reserve items available to your
colleagues.
Submitting Course Reserves
(for Instructors)
To place items on Course Reserve, please provide adequate time
to process lists. While some items may already be in the library,
others may need to be recalled or purchased. Before each quarter,
a letter calling for reserve items is sent to faculty. The Math/CS
Library keeps old lists for faculty to use. To expedite requests,
please amend an old list and provide complete bibliographic citations
for new items before returning the list to the Math/CS Library.
You can also send e-mail to mathcslib@stanford.edu,
fax requests to (650) 725-8998, or fill out a form in person. The
default loan period is 1 day.
Submit your course reserve list at least FOUR WEEKS in advance
of the first class meeting. Submit no more than 3 copies of journal
articles. To submit more than 3 copies, please review the guidelines
concerning copyrighted material. You may need to obtain copyright
clearance for photocopies before we can place them on reserve for
you. The library has subscribed to a number of online journals.
You may be able to link directly to an article online from your
reading list. Contact the Math/CS Library staff for assistance at
(650) 725-1063.
