E-reserves (web accessible library reserves)

If you would like to set up library e-reserves that are accessible over the Web 24/7, the Library can help. We set up a password protected e-reserves site and will seek a license to digitize items and post them to this site.

1. Bring the materials to the MBL Digital Processing Center that need to be digitized; provide URLs and complete citations for items already in electronic format
2. Complete a work order and provide us with the following information:

• Course name
• Course Director's name
• Course account number
• Number of students in the class
• Dates of desired use

Course Packs

If you would like to create course packs that include copyrighted materials (such as a collection of book chapters and journal articles) you must:

1. Bring high quality originals/copies of the materials to the MBL Digital Processing Center
2. Complete a work order and provide us with the following information:

• Course name
• Course Director’s name
• Course account number
• Number of students & faculty to receive course pack

We will obtain permissions and process royalty payments for approved use (fees vary—some publishers say ok, others charge small or high fees)
