When BYU required faculty to document permission to place items on reserve, the # of items on reserve decreased. The form to document compliance was cumbersome and prone to errors.
Process, in part, led to the creation of the Copyright Licensing Office (1999).
Docutek purchased in 2000.
RMEO (Reserve Material Entered Online) launched in 2001
Ask the faculty about their needs.

How do Copyright laws and licensing agreements affect use of items for reserve?
RMEO
- allows faculty to track the status of their items
- allows reserve staff to see status of copyright
- reduces instances of human error
- uses open source
- reduced staff in reserve and CLO
- has helped build relationships within the library and also with the faculty
