Library Books
To put SMFA library books on Course Reserve, the instructor
or TA must complete a Reserve Request PDF
form, including the loan period and date these materials can come off
reserve. Please allow one week for processing.Books Not Owned by the Library
To request that a title be
purchased and placed on reserve, instructors should submit a Reserve Purchase
Request PDF. Newly published materials take several weeks to be
processed and cataloged; out-of-print books may take much longer.
Instructors will be notified when the library receives the ordered
materials.Personal Copies
The library will put personal copies on reserve
if we are unable to acquire a requested book. A completed Personal Copy PDF form must accompany personal copies.
The library can not take responsibility for any damage done to personal
copies placed on reserve.Course Readers and other Photocopied Material
Course Readers
and other photocopied material must conform to the Copyright Law of the United
States (Title 17, United States code). A signed Copyright Release PDF form indicating the course title and
instructor must accompany photocopied materials. All photocopies, except
those that are copyrighted by the individual faculty member (i.e. lecture notes,
exams, etc.) or those for which the instructor has obtained copyright
permission, will be taken off reserve at the end of the semester and returned to
the faculty member. Individual and Class Library Instruction
The goal of library research instruction is to equip students with the skills to
readily locate, evaluate, and utilize information so that they may work
independently, efficiently, and confidently in any library research
environment. Instruction includes searching techniques for the FLO Online catalog, which includes the holdings of the
SMFA library, most FLC libraries, and the Museum of Fine Arts libraries.
It also covers various reference resources and collections inside the library,
whether electronic or in print, as well as appropriate general internet
resources, search engines, and specialized databases. The library
encourages you to work closely with the staff member who will be presenting the
lecture, so that the instruction will be tailored to the specific needs of the
individuals class. Click here for the Library
Instruction PDF.Requests for Books and
Other Materials

purchased for the library collection. When suggesting items, please provide
as much information as possible, including date needed by and suggested
vendor. The Purchase
Request PDF form will help expedite your request. Requests can
also be made in person.
