What is the difference between Course Reserves and Electronic Course Reserves?
Course Reserve is a service whereby physical items can be loaned to students under restricted loan rules in order to maximize availability. Items go out for two hours, for in-library use only. Electronic Course Reserves also loans items to students in a class, but provides more flexibility. With Electronic Course Reserves, multiple students can download the same file at once, and are not limited by the physical constraints of library-only use. Both regular and electronic course reserves are retrieved from the same access point, the library catalog, when a students looks up his professor’s name or his course number to find out what materials are available through the library for that class.
