Reserve Policies Changes
The Reserves Policies of the UML Libraries have changed. The Libraries
have made these changes in order to be in compliance with United States
copyright law. Title 17 of the U.S. Code may be viewed at the Office
of Law Revision Counsel.
We have limited the number of items that may be placed on reserve.
For faculty members wishing to exceed that limit, we suggest contacting
Joe Belanger (or
call 978-934-2623) to create a coursepack. Mr. Belanger has worked extensively
with XanEdu publishing and
can assist you.
