Course Reserve Materials & Alma Training Dates

With the end of Spring semester approaching, and Summer/Fall semesters beginning, here are a couple of important reminders for faculty members to help with instruction and research.

Did you know that faculty members are able to place materials on reserve at the beginning of each semester? 
course reserve materials: 
 Any materials may be placed on reserve in accordance with fair use and copyright guidelines. Tips for placing items on reserve:
  • Use the Course Reserves Request Form to notify the library of items to be placed on reserve.
  • Request materials before the beginning of each semester.
  • Notify the librarians of items to be placed on reserve before announcing that the item is available for student use. 
  • Allow 48 hours for reserve items to be cataloged & processed and available for student use.
  • Advise students that they must have their Gordon State College ID to use reserve materials.
  • Students may use the self-serve ScannX machines to scan documents to their smart phone, flash drive, or email account at no charge. 
Materials on reserve are to be returned to the circulating collection or to the appropriate faculty member at the end of each semester. 



Another ongoing, important reminder..


Our new system, GILFind@Gordon State, will GO LIVE on May 26, 2017, just in time for the start of Summer School on May 31, 2017!
