The Social Work Library provides course reserves services for social work courses.
- Faculty should submit a syllabus to the BCSSW Program Assistants for final formatting. The Program Assistants will forward a copy of the final syllabus to the library when it is ready.
- If desired, faculty may manage their course reserves using the Course Resources tool. See our Guide to Course Resources for Instructors.
- Some items may need to be ordered, scanned, recalled, or repaired, which can cause a delay between the time a syllabus is received and the time the material is available for student use. Because of this, syllabi should be submitted as soon as possible to ensure reserves are completed for the first week of classes. Syllabi received close to the beginning of the semester will be worked on in weekly increments until reserves are completed.
- Recommended (but not required) readings are not placed on reserve.
PLEASE NOTE:
Every digitization request must be considered in light of fair use. Typically, for course reserves, the scanning of one entire chapter or ten percent of a book will comport with fair use, though slightly more may be appropriate when no digital options are available for purchase or licensing.
