As the manager of the electronic reserves program at my library, I have
some questions about how other libraries handle these reserves. Our
electronic reserves program is fairly new, so we don't have any clearly
established policies.

-Do you use any kind of software program to manage your reserves
program? Presently, I create HTML pages with links to the PDF files. I
place all the PDF files for a class in one folder and password protect
the folder.

-How do you handle requests from faculty who want their articles kept
on electronic reserve semester after semester? Do you take the articles
down during the breaks between semesters and then re-post them when the
semester begins? Keeping copyrighted material online semester after
semester seems like a violation of copyright, but removing and
re-posting requires a lot of maintenance. 

Thanks for any information.
