  Are there any copyright prohibitions on keeping textbook on reserve semester after semester?

  If you're referring to keeping a physical textbook on reserve (not copies), then I don't think there are copyright prohibitions. If you're talking about copies, then copyright law does apply, but it will vary depending on the situation.

  The right of first sale would indeed allow the textbook to be kept on reserve for as long as the professor and library wished to do so. Photo- or digital copies are a different matter, of course, subject to the copyright interpretation/policy of each individual institution.
