Faculty Reserves FAQ for Mendel Music Library

Reserve FAQ for Faculty - Mendel Music Library

PRINT MEDIA
For print or electronic reserves at Mendel libraries, please contact and send syllabi and/or reading lists to Mendel Music Library. Mendel will process all requests into Online Reserve Request Service (ORRS).

DIGITAL MEDA
It is recommended that media needed for teaching in the classroom be digitized and streamed, as DVD, VHS, and CD players in the seminar-sized classrooms are starting to fail and are not being replaced. Seminar-sized classrooms are being designed as BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) -- with a data projector or flat panel, audio speakers, and laptop connections only. Your laptop will be the media player for the room, displaying video, audio, and computer content. 

• AUDIO RESERVES  - Audio-On-Demand: Assigned audio (CD, LP vinyl, DAT and cassette) materials that will be accessed through your Canvas course page should be brought to the Mendel Music Library, currently located in the Woolworth Center of Musical Studies. The reserve materials are made available only to the participants of the course and only for the duration of the course. 
• VIDEO RESERVES  -  Video-On-Demand: Assigned video (DVD, VHS, Laser Disc) materials that will be accessed through your Blackboard course page should be brought to the Video Library Service currently located in Firestone Library, B-FLoor (Barbara McLaughlin, mclaugh@princeton.edu, 609-258-0739). The reserve materials are made available only to the participants of the course and only for the duration of the course

Can I use my own personal copies?

The Library’s preference is to own a copy of the material to be placed on reserve. We will make every effort possible to purchase the material. Personal copies can be used for the interim.

Can I add my own readings and listening assignments to Blackboard without using the Library?
Yes. It would be advisable to review the use of copyrighted materials, especially with music performances. Please refer to the University Canvas website
and the campus resources listed above.
