How Do I Find materials my professor has placed on reserve?

Some reserve materials may be found online and others are located only in the individual libraries.

Reserve materials located in the library can be found through ACORN, the library's online catalog. There is a link in the red menu bar in ACORN, the library catalog, for course reserves which can be searched by Instructor, Course Number, or Course Name. When the record for the reserve item is located, it will mention which library holds the item.

Electronic materials for most libraries are made available through a system called ERes. Some ERes listings for the Science and Engineering Library can be found in ACORN, but for other libraries, the ERes database must be searched separately. Some faculty may link to ERes from within Prometheus.

Some electronic reserves are password protected. Ask your instructor for the password.

Electronic materials at the Owen Graduate School of Management are not available through ERes, but through OwenNet (Blackboard).
