Continued discussion of Curricular Development proposals:
Tutorials by nature are new courses.  Developing and teaching Tutorials are considered 
part of a regular teaching load.  


Remaining proposals were approved with some revision.  The next ISC will be charged 
with creating clear guidelines regarding tutorial proposals.


Discussion of Library Reserve Policy:
The Library will buy books whenever possible to save on copyright permission.  If we 
own the book, there is no limit to the number of times it can be on reserve.  No copyright 
permission is needed.  


The Library will link to online sources where available.
Faculty can create hotlinks from their syllabi directly to the sources.  Library staff or 
IMTSs can assist when needed.


Library Reserves are meant to serve as supplemental texts, not all materials for a 
course.  If the reserves contain all materials, it is considered an "anthology."  Using 
reserves in this manner is in conflict with Library Association Best Practices.


Reserves cannot replace course packets.


Regarding cost:  What provisions are currently made for materials in financial aid 
packages?


It is the Library's viewpoint that students should not be required to pay for library 
services.


Recommended limits for Reserve Policy (as a trial phase):
Up to 60 items on reserve 
Up to $150 per article
Up to $1000 per course
