Electronic Reserves Tutorial
Faculty can place journal articles and book chapters on Electronic Reserves. All electronic reserves are posted to your course page in OAK.
Please Note!
When using material from a book, please note that most publishers will not permit use of more than 10% of a book that is still in print.
Be aware that some publishers will not permit electronic reproduction of their material at all; these items will need to be put on print reserve.
Placing Items on Electronic Reserves is a Three Step Process:
First: You will need to fill out the Electronic Reserves Excel form found here, save it, and then send it to as an e-mail attachment. Please fill out each entry of the Excel form as completely as possible.
⇒ Example of a properly filled out Excel form
Next: You will need to provide us with the readings you have listed on the Excel form. Readings will meet one of the following three conditions:
| Conditions | Do you need to provide a hard copy? | Other stuff you need to know |
|---|---|---|
| A reading that has previously been on E-Reserve | No, we still have it saved. | We will contact you if we cannot find the reading. Sometimes readings from 2003 and Spring 2004 cannot be found. |
| A reading that is available in the Library's online databases | No, you can paste a link into the Excel form before you submit it. | Look at the example form from the FIRST step to see where you can paste an Internet link. |
| A new reading that is not available online, and has not previously been on E-Reserve. | Yes, please bring a copy to the library. | Please make sure the copies are clean, single-sided, and in labeled folders. Please do not staple the pages. |
Last: We will scan the articles and save them as .pdf files. We will then create a new content area on the left-hand side of your course page in OAK called "Electronic Reserves" and place the .pdf files in it. We will list the .pdf files in the order that they appear on the Excel form. Students can click on the title of the article they wish to view, and it will open in a separate window. We will send you (or your assistant, if they are the one who sends us the form) an email once the readings have been posted.
