Electronic Reserves: Procedures

Please check our library databases to determine if the article(s) is available online full text.  If it is, you can reference the link directly in Blackboard or your course syllabus, or, the library can make a hypertext link to the article on your library Electronic Reserve folder.

If the article is not available full text online, please provide Access Services, located at the Circulation desk, with the following materials at the time of submission:

1. a copy of your course syllabus
2. a Reserve Submission Form with complete bibliographic information
3. materials to be placed on Reserve (clean copies, 8.5x11 paper, software)
4. a Repeated Use Form, signed and completed - only necessary if materials have been previously on Reserve

Please be advised:

• Materials will be processed on a first-come-first-served basis.
