Reserves and Special Requests
Placing Materials on Reserve
Pepperdine Libraries will place materials on hard copy or electronic reserve at the initiative of faculty for the non-commercial, educational use of students.
The Libraries maintain copyright compliance as stated in the U.S. Copyright Act, Section 107. Pepperdine libraries follow the Pepperdine copyright policy.
Please allow at least 2 days for processing of materials Monday-Friday. Items needed for the weekend should be received by the prior Thursday.
The beginning of the semester is our busiest time, and reserve processing can take longer. Please submit your materials a week before the semester begins to ensure that your material will be available in time for your first class meeting.
A course reserves form (available at the circulation desk) must be submitted with your materials. This form is used for both hard copy and electronic reserves.
