Electronic and Course Reserves

Electronic and course reserves provide free access to articles and books.

  • The library assumes responsibility for copyright compliance, paying to make the materials available.
  • 15-20% of the total pages in a work may be posted on e-reserve each semester.
    • Short works can be posted in full if they don't exceed the limit of the item in which they appear.
  • For questions about e-reserves and course reserves, contact Gale Biddle at glb131@su.edu
