Course Reserves
SUPPLEMENTARY ACCESS TO DIGITAL OR PHYSICAL RESERVES
Faculty use Leganto to place materials on reserve to provide strategic supplementary support, giving students shared access to resources that require purchase elsewhere.
Physical Reserves
Faculty use Leganto (add link) to build reading lists. Once the list is created, books and other items that need to be placed on physical reserve will be pulled and sent to the appropriate services desk (John C. Hitt Library, the Curriculum Materials Center, or the Downtown Campus Library). Faculty-owned items or reproductions of materials must be delivered to the desk. Only two copies per title (including various editions) may be placed on reserve.
A link inside Leganto will let students know that there is a copy of the item at the library. Students must bring their UCF ID to the desk to borrow the materials. The borrow period will have a designated time restriction. Reserve materials must be returned to the library on time or will accrue a charge of $1.00 per hour.
Digital Reserves
Leganto(add link) consolidates course material access into one place. Beyond linking to openly licensed or library-sourced materials available for the whole class simultaneously, Leganto also handles digital reserves. Digital reserves are defined as digitized or born-digital materials with access restrictions (such as limiting access to one student at a time).
Faculty submit requests through Leganto with complete citations. When possible, the library will digitize physical materials or configure access restrictions for existing digital materials. Please note that not all requests are possible or feasible.
Library staff members strive to process all faculty requests for course reserves in a timely manner possible and in conformance to copyright law, as required by the UCF Office of the General Counsel.
