E-Reserves

The library offers a scanning service so you may place articles on Blackboard for your students to read.

Guidelines:

Please allow at least one week to process requests. During peak times, processing may take longer.

Please provide a clean photocopy of the material. If the item to be scanned is from a book, it is your responsibility to photocopy it.

Per Fair Use copyright guidelines, at this time, the only items accepted for scanning are articles from journals owned by the library or supplied by you and chapters from a book. Include complete citations for each required item in order to have your requests processed accurately. Library staff will not scan coursepacks or personally created anthologies, class notes, papers or tests.
