The Lawrence W. Tyree Library supports Santa Fe College with knowledgeable staff, appropriate resources, and an environment that promotes user success and life-long learning.
- To place materials in the Reserve Collection, complete the Library Course Reserve Form.
- SF instructors and staff may place materials in the Reserve Collection.
- Those individuals placing materials in the Reserve Collection are responsible for ensuring copyright compliance. See the Library's Copyright Guide for additional information on copyright and fair use.

- Materials from other libraries may not be placed in the Reserve Collection.
- Instructors or departments are responsible for providing copies of textbooks to be placed in the Reserve Collection.
- Personal copies may be placed in the Reserve Collection. The Library will handle these materials in the same manner as all other reserve materials. Budget permitting, the Library will replace lost or damaged items available for purchase.
- For access and security purposes, the Library will mark, label, and affix security strips to Reserve materials in a manner consistent with other materials in the Reserve Collection.

- At the conclusion of the reserve period, the Library will return materials to the original library collection or to the faculty or staff member who supplied those materials. If the Library is unable to return materials to a faculty or staff member, materials will be returned to the department. Materials released from the Reserve Collection are not the responsibility of the Library.
- Individuals or departments placing materials in the Reserve Collection may remove their materials before the return/remove date.
- The Library will take action consistent with its Circulation Policy for items lost, damaged, or stolen while in its custody. Such action may include, but is not limited to, charging replacement cost plus fees, referring students for disciplinary measures, and/or taking legal action.
