What is the difference between traditional and electronic reserves?
Traditional reserves are photocopies of articles/book chapters, books (personal copies and library copies) and any material that a professor wants to make available to students. These materials are held behind the circulation desk and can be checked out by the student for 2 hours, 4 hours, 1 day, 3 days or 7 days. The checkout period is decided upon by the professor when the materials are submitted. Electronic reserves are sound recordings, journal articles or book chapters that have been scanned and placed on the Electronic Reserves website for students to access. Readings may be accessed by the students 24 hours a day from any computer with internet access. Readings may be browsed online or printed.
