Instructions for Electronic Reserve System (ERes)
     

The Electronic Reserve System (ERes) allows you to access and print many articles that instructors have placed on reserve. It also provides information on locating materials that are not available on ERes, e.g. books and certain articles, or articles that are available through electronic journals or databases. ERes can be used from HS/HSL computer terminals or remotely from the library's website http://www.hshsl.umaryland.edu.

Course listings can be accessed in several different ways, including searching by department name, course number, or course name. The easiest way to search is by the instructor's name.
  1. Click on Electronic Reserves and Course Materials.

  2. Select an instructor's name from the Main Course Index drop-down menu and click GO.

  3. If prompted, enter the course password (no spaces, ex. Nice123Going) provided by the instructor and then click accept after reading the copyright agreement.

  4. Article or book titles are listed alphabetically and are linked to a PDF document, a Link to a website, or to an HTML or Text-formatted note. PDF documents can be read/printed from the ERes system; HTML and Text document links will provide information on how to locate the book or article.

      PDF documents:
      Click on the Print icon to print the article. To return to the document list, click on the "X" in the upper right-hand corner of the document (smaller) window.

      HTML and Text documents:
      For items available at the Circulation Desk, copy the call number on a "Reserve Request Slip". For those not available on reserve, go to the Electronic Journal list or database indicated, and search for the article title. Close the window by clicking on the "X" in the upper right-hand corner of the smaller window to return to the document list.

      LINK documents:
      Clicking on a title links to the website containing the document. Use the browser's Print button to print the document. Click on the "X" in the upper right-hand corner to close the window.


  5. To change to another course or instructor from a document list, click on the Course Index link on the sidebar. From a department or instructor list, click QuickSearch/Course Index to begin a new search.

QuickSearch allows you to search by instructor, article or book title, author, course number or department name. Use the drop-down menu to select the desired field.

Please do not submit more than 5 articles for printing at a time.

Questions:
If you do not find your course, check at the Circulation Desk.
