E-reserves
Your readings, some required and some optional, come from several sources.
Chapters in books or journal articles have copyright clearance to be maintained
by the library and are designated as (on reserve).
In the distance environment, you go to "electronic reserves" instead of
the reserves desk at the library. To access the FIRST YEARS e-reserves,
simply click Sakai's Library/Reserves
link and, when prompted, enter the password given to you in your course.
