How to Access E-Reserves

  1. From the Mantor Library home page, choose URSUS.
     

  2. From the URSUS home page, choose Course Reserves, either by Course Name or by Instructor.

    a. To search by Course Name, you will need the three-letter subject designation and the course number – e.g. HTY 103 or the exact title of the course. If more than one course is displayed, be sure to choose the one with the “FAR” designation.

    b. To search by Instructor, enter last name first. Some instructors have reserve lists for more than one course; if your search yields listings for more than one course, be sure to choose the right one.
     

  3. Once you have located the correct course page, you will see a list of reserved material, with the titles on the left in blue, and the location (Far Reserves, Far EReserves), the physical description (xerox in folder, PDF file, videocassette, MP3 file, JPEG), and the status on the right. Items with a location of Far EReserves are available electronically.
     

  4. To access an electronic document, click on the title (in blue). You will be prompted to click on the URL for electronic access; clicking on this will bring you to a page that prompts for a password, and asks you to read and agree to a copyright compliance statement. Once you enter the password provided by your instructor, you will be taken to a page with the electronic reserve listings for the course.
     

  5. Click on the desired title and the file will open. In order to access EReserves, cookies must be enabled on your computer. You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to open PDF files. For audio files, software such as Windows Media Player or RealPlayer will be necessary. Library computers are not equipped with speakers, so if you wish to access audio files from a Library computer, you will need headphones. You may bring your own, or borrow some at the Access Services Desk (you will need to leave your student ID). Please use the computers in the Peter Mills Electronic Classroom to access audio files.

If you have questions or problems with EReserves, please see a librarian.
