Printed course packs may be made available for sale in the Bookstore. The Library acts as a clearinghouse for course pack requests, initiates requests for copyright permission, and works with faculty members to assemble course packs that meet their needs and the needs of their students. Library staff may encourage faculty members to consider all options, including Lyceum, Linking to electronic databases and other electronic resources, including Open Educational Resources, and Library Course Reserves, for providing course-related materials to their students as a part of this service.

Faculty members wishing to have course packs for their classes should submit the material at least 8 weeks before the start of the semester. Clean photocopies of chapters or articles, or the actual book/journal may be submitted for use in the course pack. Lists can be submitted at: Library/services/request/resvcoursepack.shtml.
