Electronic Reserve
Student Access to Online Supplemental Course Materials
Place selected journal articles, book chapters, class notes, past exams, and homework solutions online for easy student access. Online course materials will:
- Allow simultaneous access by multiple students to course resources
- Permit students to read and print course materials at any time of day or night
- Allow access to materials from home, office, library, or computer lab with UW NetID
- Eliminate the need to wait in line for photocopied reserve articles.
- Solve the problem of missing or damaged pages
3 Ways to Submit Ereserves
1. Submit a list of articles. The UW Libraries subscribes to online databases that provide the full text of articles in hundreds of journals and newspapers. Librarians and reserve staff will work with you to determine where articles are already available online and create links in the Ereserves system. Send your list to
art@lib.washington.edu or to Art Library, Box 353440, UW, 99195-3440.
2. Submit electronic documents by web form, email or disk. Documents already in Word, HTML, Publisher, ascii text, or PDF format may be submitted to Art Reserve as email attachments or on floppy diskettes. Electronic format files can be posted to Ereserve quickly and retain the accuracy of the original document. Send email attachments to art@lib.washington.edu or bring disks to the reserve desk.
3. Provide sharp, unbound photocopies of book chapters, articles, notes, and solutions to be scanned and placed on Ereserve. Original copies will be kept on file for one quarter in the event of any problems with the PDF documents. Mail or bring photocopies to Art Reserve Desk, BOX 353440.
