How to Place Materials on Reserve
Faculty members place items on reserve as part of course materials to ensure large numbers of students can use a limited number of resources. Reserves may be physical items (traditional reserves) held at the library or they may be electronic items (electronic reserves) accessed via the Internet.
Electronic Reserves (E-Reserves): Items that are stored and read electronically like some journal articles, clippings. Web items are also called electronic reserves. Patrons use a password, supplied by their instructor, to access the needed files 24 hours a day 7 days a week via the Internet.
Traditional Reserves: Physical items that are held at the library for patron use are called traditional reserves. Reserve items are checked out for limited amounts of time. If an item is a "closed" reserve item, it must be used in the library. If an items is an "open" reserve item, it may be used anywhere as long as it is returned within the loan period.
Electronic Reserves: E-Reserves runs on a software from Docutek Information Systems, Inc. called E-Res. If you know your class has items on reserve, you can search for E-reserves materials by course and by instructor. To access the E-reserves for your class, you must have a password provided by your instructor.
Traditional Reserves: The library's online catalog will tell you if an item is a reserve item. If you know your class has items on reserve, you can search in the online catalog for reserve materials by course and by instructor.
If you are an instructor at UC, you may place items on reserve at the library that serves your college or department or at Langsam Library. More information on submission guidelines may be found on the Faculty Guidelines page.
