Right now we have designated staff handling reserves and they are located in Circulation. We're piloting a program this year where subject specialists are give access to Ares, our Reserve software program, and trained to handle links to full text and streaming ematerial. So far so good on the pilot and its been win-win for everyone. Reserve staff get help at crunch times and subject specialists get to see first hand what their faculty are asking for for classes. Faculty get more people who are able to help them with reserve issues.

Hi everyone, I have a question for those who work in an academic setting. Our library is evaluating the way we handle reserves. I am wondering what other college libraries do. Is there one staff member in charge? If so, what department does this fall under? Or (if you use a liaison program) do the various subject specialists handle reserves for faculty in their subject area? Any feedback you can offer will be greatly appreciated. Feel free to reply off list. Thank you!

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
