Reserve Materials -- Savannah
Purpose
Reserve items are materials listed as primary references in the Mercer University School of Medicine Study Guides, the clerkship reading lists, and items in heavy demand during a phase.

Location
Reserve Materials are located in the Library workroom. Please ask for them at the Reference Desk.

Photocopies
Copies of articles to be placed on reserve must be supplied by the faculty member. Due to copyright restrictions, no more than one copy of each title per 15 students in the class may be placed on reserve.

Availability
Standard checkout of reserve items is four hours. However, four hours before closing, reserve materials may be checked out for overnight use provided they are returned one hour after reopening. Clerkship Reserve 2 items may be checked out for the entire length of the clinical rotation.

Procedure For Placing Materials On Reserve
All items placed on reserve remain on reserve for the length of the phase or rotation only. Items are then returned to the general library collection or to the faculty member who provided them.

Faculty members who supply photocopied materials to be placed on temporary reserve are advised that it is their responsibility to obtain permission from the copyright holder. A sample letter and request form are available in PDF and Microsoft Word formats.
