How to Request Electronic Reserves for your Class

To expedite the processing of course reserves to better serve both faculty and students, the following policies and procedures will be observed:

  1. Submit all requests through UCORES.


  2. Materials for Electronic Reserves may be submitted in either hard copy (paper) form, electronic form via email, or via computer disk. Remember that paper copies will have to be scanned by the Circulation staff, so please provide the cleanest copies possible and allow for processing time.


  3. Please be aware of our copyright policy when you are submitting items for electronic reserve.


  4. It is the professor’s responsibility to distribute passwords for electronic reserves and assure that only currently enrolled students are given that password. Passwords are provided to the instructor via e-mail as soon as material is available in Electronic Reserves.
