Closed Reserve
Instructors may place books, articles and other materials on closed reserve in the library for the use of students in their classes. The instructor may specify the length of time, in hours or days, that material may be loaned. Unless otherwise specified, materials are kept on closed reserve for one semester and then returned to the library stacks or the instructor, depending on who owns the material.
Copyright
A good source of information about fair use of copyrighted works and obtaining permission to use them is available online at http:www.cetus.org/fairindex.html. The reference staff is available to help locate further information.
Interlibrary Loan (ILL)
If SUNY Ulster does not have the books and/or articles which you need, we may obtain this material for you through interlibrary loan (ILL). Please ask the reference librarians for ILL request forms or use the electronic ILL form. It usually takes 7-14 days to receive items.
Library Cards
Your SUNYCard is your library card. ID cards may be obtained from Security in HAS 106.
