Guide to E-Reserve Readings

Electronic Reserves are intended to complement, but not replace, your class coursepak readings.

You can view the current e-reserve pages to get an idea of how an e-reserves page will look.

Follow the steps below to set up your electronic reserves:

  1. Before creating an e-reserve list, read our E-Reserves and Copyright FAQ.
    (Enter your Duke NetID and password to view the FAQ)
  2. Send an eMail to carlton.brown(at)duke.edu with citations for up to only 30 articles. We will build a web page with direct links to as many of the articles that are available in electronic form.
  3. We will then notify you by return eMail of those articles which are not available in electronic form.
  4. We will help your research assistant or faculty support person locate clean copies of these articles for scanning and conversion to PDF format. We ask that faculty support use the scanning copiers in their work areas to generate PDFs when this is necessary.
  5. The scanned articles will be temporarily placed in a password-protected directory and linked from the web page we have created for your readings.
