Electronic Reserves

Electronic Reserves

The UML Libraries are pleased to offer our Electronic Reserves service. Instructors are able to place full text articles found in our ProQuest Direct, EBSCO or InfoTrac databases on reserve. A link to the article will be put into the Libraries' online catalog under the instructor's name, the course name or number, allowing students to access Electronic Reserve material from any computer with an internet connection at any time. If the full text of the article is in HTML format, the link in the catalog will point to the whole article. If the article is in PDF format, the catalog link will lead to the abstract of the article with a link to access the full text PDF file.

Placing Items on Electronic Reserve

• Verify that the article you wish to place on Electronic Reserve is available in full text in either our EBSCO or InfoTrac databases.
• Email the complete citation (including the name of the database in which the article is available), instructor's name, course name and number to Ellen MJ Keane. Incomplete citations or information cannot be processed.
• Up to 25 articles may be placed on Electronic Reserve per course.
• Electronic Reserves will be deleted at the end of each semester.
• It will take approximately 2 weeks for items to be processed for Electronic Reserve.
