Print Reserve materials must be returned/handed to a staff member at the Circulation Desk during open hours or in the Outside Book Return when the library is closed.

Student Access to Electronic Reserves:

Electronic Reserves are searchable in the course reserve catalog and are viewable as full-text documents. Most e-Reserve materials are password protected. Faculty teaching courses with assigned e-Reserve materials will distribute passwords to students in those courses.
To access certain e-Reserves from off campus (those available through ResearchPort), students will also need their 14-digit library barcode numbers located on the back of their Gull cards.

Passwords and Authentication for e-Reserves:

There are two types of authentication for e-Reserves:

1. The first type is a password supplied by your course instructor (Blackwell Library staff cannot provide passwords).

2. The second type of authentication will happen when accessing e-Reserves from off-campus through ResearchPort. You will be directed to the ResearchPort login screen, where you will be asked to enter your 14 digit library barcode (located on the back of your ID card) and your last name.
