Electronic Reserves

The Library’s electronic reserves system, ERes, provides students with twenty-four hour access to selected course reserve materials. Instructors may submit materials as follows: Items may be sent to the Library electronically via email to sherry.becht@cabrini.edu or in print format via campus mail. A specific course page will be created in ERes with links to the reserve materials. Please allow two working days for processing. Because of the digitization of print materials for electronic access, copyright concerns restrict access to materials to students enrolled in the course. Instructors will be given a password for their students to use when viewing the course page. Access to the page will terminate at the end of the semester.

The Library Director reserves the right to refuse items for electronic reserve, if in her judgment the items do not meet the fair use provisions set forth in the United States Copyright Act of 1976 (Section 107).
