Introducing Electronic Reserves (E-Res):
E-Res is an electronic reserves software program that enables students to electronically access articles, book chapters and other documents which faculty have placed on Course Reserves as supplemental course readings. Printed documents are scanned and stored on a server. The Library is currently experimenting with a pilot project using the E-Res software, and several faculty members have agreed to participate in the project during the Spring 2001 Semester.

Access to electronic reserves is limited to SU students, and for the Spring Semester, only course materials for faculty participating in the Pilot Project will be available in electronic format.
