Course Reserves

The Mathematical and Computer Sciences Library provides course reserve services for the Departments of Mathematics, Computer Sciences, Statistics, and Operations Research (part of MS&E). Reserves for some undergraduate classes may be available at Green Library. Videotapes for Computer Science courses are housed at Green Library, although many lectures are videostreamed through Stanford Online. To determine the location(s) of reserve materials, consult your class syllabus, or search the Reserves file.

Course Reserve materials circulate for various loan periods (2 hrs to 3 days) as determined by the instructor. Some Course Reserve materials may circulate overnight. To ensure the prompt discharge of reserve materials from your record, please return these items by handing them to a staff member at the Math/CS Library Circulation Desk. DO NOT return Reserve materials to the outside bookdrop unless the library is closed.

Reserve Fines

Because ready and equal access to Course Reserve materials is critical, stiff fines are assessed for overdue materials. Fines for overdue Course Reserve items are $1.00/hour. Three days after the due date, a bill is sent which includes the replacement cost, a $25 processing fee, the maximum overdue fine, and a $5.00 nonrefundable billing fee, and the user's privileges are blocked. We need and appreciate your prompt action in helping make Course Reserve items available to your colleagues.

Submitting Course Reserves (for Instructors)

To place items on Course Reserve, please provide adequate time to process lists. While some items may already be in the library, others may need to be recalled or purchased. Before each quarter, a letter calling for reserve items is sent to faculty. The Math/CS Library keeps old lists for faculty to use. To expedite requests, please amend an old list and provide complete bibliographic citations for new items before returning the list to the Math/CS Library. You can also send e-mail to mathcslib@stanford.edu, fax requests to (650) 725-8998, or fill out a form in person. The default loan period is 1 day.

Submit your course reserve list at least FOUR WEEKS in advance of the first class meeting. Submit no more than 3 copies of journal articles. To submit more than 3 copies, please review the guidelines concerning copyrighted material. You may need to obtain copyright clearance for photocopies before we can place them on reserve for you. The library has subscribed to a number of online journals. You may be able to link directly to an article online from your reading list. Contact the Math/CS Library staff for assistance at (650) 725-1063.
