Library: Distance Education: Electronic Reserves

Most professors make class readings available electronically via Electronic Reserves. (You will  need the free Adobe Reader software to view electronic reserves).

If your class has material on reserve, follow these instructions to access the materials:

1. From the library's home page, select Find Course Reserves.
2. Search by instructor name or course number
3. Find your instructor's name or course number in the list of results. Click on the appropriate entry to see a list of all the titles on reserve for that course.
4. Find the item you wish to view.  If the item is available on electronic reserve you'll see "*ELECTRONIC COPY AVAILABLE* " in the right-hand column. 
5. Click the title of the item, and the article should open automatically. (Note: Adobe PDF documents can be slow to download.)
