What are Electronic Reserves (eReserves)?
The HSC Libraries’ eReserves service makes it possible for documents to be made available via the Internet on demand, whenever they are needed. Students are able to view, print or download eReserves material either within the Library or remotely, using a web browser such as FireFox or Internet Explorer. Documents are attached to a course reserves page, which is password protected. Documents in the eReserves system are stored in Portable Document Format (PDF) and require Adobe Acrobat software for viewing or printing. (Download Acrobat for free.) The Library keeps a physical copy of reserves items that cannot be stored electronically. Length and/or copyright considerations are among the reasons that prevent electronic dissemination. Entire books and articles for which the publisher denies electronic access are not available through eReserves. Print (hard copy) reserves material are kept at the Circulation/Reserves Desk on the first floor of the Library.
