Submission Information
Complete the Submission form.
Please remember:
- Course Reserve materials are processed on a first-come, first-served basis.
- Allow at least 48 hours for materials to become available.
- Certain times of the quarter are busier than others and processing time may take a little longer; allow more time if you need your materials scanned.
- Make sure to enter all of the required information to expedite processing times.
- Course Reserves will accept 1 copy for the class up to 10-15 students; 2 copies up to 25-30 students; and 3 copies up to 40-45 students.
- Faculty should pick up their course reserve material at the end of the final examination period for the selected removal quarter.
- The library is not responsible for damaged or missing items.
E-Reserves and Blackboard
- Security for your course materials: only authorized members and instructors of a class can access the course web site in Blackboard. This offers distinct benefits over the previous method.
- Ease of student access: the online course environment has become increasingly integral to the teaching and learning process. Relocating eReserves in Blackboard provides intuitive access to these materials.
- Faculty flexibility: easy access to eReserves within Blackboard enables the instructor to incorporate or reference these materials at the chronological or semantic point of need. See Add Course Link in the Blackboard Support site for an example of this.
- Scanning: If you require scanning, please supply the highest quality, unstapled photocopied or printed materials on letter-size paper.
- Links to content: The library will link to licensed electronic content whenever possible.
Uploading e-Reserves
- Even if you've never used Blackboard, your students will still be able to access eReserves in your course site.
- Place your Course Reserve requests using the new submission form.
- If your course site is not already active, library staff will activate it at the time of uploading requested electronic reserves.
- If you are already using Blackboard for your course site, you will have the freedom to move electronic reserves or link to them from elsewhere in your course(s).
