How Do E-Reserves Work? Get to from: -Library home page -Books Etc. -Course Reserves -Choose instructor + course -Click on desired title - “Click here for full text”

What Are the Rules for E-Reserves Any item you would like scanned must be Library Heartland Faculty Department Owned } Please allow 2 weeks from the time you’ve turned in a reserve before you expect it to be available for your class
