We Listened Read 'R' Reviews New Arrivals ETC - Electronic Tips Corner A Special Thought Fast Facts Bulletin Board Did You Know? Electronic Reserves Digital Reserve Material Bellevue University Library has recently launched an innovative Electronic Reserves System (ERes) from Docutek. No recent development in library services so clearly epitomizes the triumph of technology over the barriers of time and space as electronic reserves. It was not so long ago virtually all-academic libraries were struggling with exclusively paper-based reserve systems. These systems were laden with recurring problems of workload management, timing, and supply. Electronic Reserves offer faculty a means to provide students with online access to digitized reserve materials -- including copyrighted materials-- in support of their classes. Electronic Reserves are digitized reserve materials that are made available to authorized Bellevue University students from any computer, whether in the library or off campus, via the Internet 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Electronic Reserve material is always available; it is faster and far less expensive than photocopying. There is no need to worry about misplaced reserve materials because they are always available online. When comparing a traditional reserve with electronic reserve there is nothing more frustrating than requesting a reserved reading in which there are pages missing, or it is a poor copy, or when you try to check out something that has already been borrowed by another student. All of this adds tremendous frustration to the whole process of trying to view what has been placed on reserve. Electronic Reserve prevents such aggravations and overcomes the inconvenience of obtaining readings from the reserve desk. Electronic Reserves can include PDF images of articles, course notes, exams or other materials that an instructor would like to make available to students. Since electronic reserve materials fall under the same fair-use guidelines as paper reserves, instructors may be required to obtain permission from the publisher if they plan to use them for more than one term. Ordinarily, because of the freely accessible nature of the Internet, copyrighted materials, such as chapters from books and journal articles could not be made available electronically under the law. However, since Electronic Reserves are only made accessible to authorized Bellevue University users, we are able to provide this access in compliance with copyright laws. Additionally, because many journal articles are available as full-text through our database subscriptions, Bellevue University has already paid for access to these copyrighted materials, enabling us to provide students with a direct link to the text in the database and making those articles available for repeated use without requesting special permission from the publisher. Students can access reserve materials online by going to the "Electronic Reserve System" from the Library's home page, or through BRUIN. Once there, click on "Electronic Reserves and Course Materials." Course pages are often password protected and can be accessed only by students in that course. You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader software to view PDF files and may be downloaded from http://www.adobe.com, free of charge. We are very proud of the implementation of Electronic Reserves at Bellevue University; we believe by using this unique technology we have initiated another way our library delivers value to our students, faculty and staff.
