Print reserves may be photocopied or checked out of the library for short periods of time, but circulation policies vary from library to library. Ereserves are typically scanned versions of print reserves or links to articles and other types of documents in full-text electronic sources. Students don't need to visit the library to access electronic course reserves. The Heard Library currently uses the ERes system to make its electronic reserves available on the campus network. Students may search ERes by instructor name, course name or course number for a list of the currently available ereserves for their class.
Some divisional libraries list their ereserves in Acorn as well.
Ereserve documents are usually available in PDF format, which requires the installation of the Acrobat Reader plugin in order to read and print the files. Because of copyright restrictions some course reserve materials cannot be made available electronically. Again, you may need to ask for help at your library's Circulation or Reserves department.
