Please Note: Some documentation requires a free Microsoft Office Reader. Please select the appropriate reader and download it from the Microsoft web site. Each Office file type link is labelled as such.
Caution! If copying Blackboard course materials from previous semesters, do so before making your eReserve requests to us. If the previous semester course had eReserves, you must remove the link manually. If you do not, your new requests will not show up in your new course. For help with this task, please contact your Instructional Technology Consultant as Reserves staff does not have the ability to perform this task for you.
Note: To save paper and processing time, we are now using a book scanner to produce eReserves for most items for which photocoipes are not provided. This change means that we will no longer be able to provide you with printed copies of these readings.
To submit new and/or additional lists, use the forms available on the Reserve Forms page or resubmit a list from a previous term after updating the course, section, and term.
To renew lists on reserve for Fall 2009 for use in Winter and/or Spring, please contact us by email at reserves@uncg.edu or call us at 336.256.1199 or 334.5245. To renew we will need the specific course and section number or the CRN numbers for the Fall course from which to transfer the materials and for each Summer and/or Fall course to which to transfer the items. (All eReserves not renewed will be made unavailable to you and your students as soon as Spring exams end; print reserves, early in Summer.)
Because specific section numbers are required to process eReserves, requests for any subsequent terms are not being taken at this time.
Lists for courses not following the standard schedules should be submitted a minimum of two weeks before the courses begin to ensure availability by the first day of class. Please give us the date of the first day of class when submitting the list.
Lists that follow the criteria detailed on these Placing Items on Reserve web pages will be processed in order of receipt before lists not follow the criteria.
Due to the volume of lists submitted after these dates, lists received afterwards will be processed in order of receipt and may take up to 2 weeks to become available. Exceptions can be made to "rush" process materials if:
When submitting materials for reserve, please alert us to these factors.
Additional Information Regarding eReserves on Blackboard:
At the end of each term, we break the link between your course and its eReserves. You will not be able to transfer any eReserves on in previous terms from course to course, nor will you be able to view them in your archived courses. Only the reserve processing staff will be able to access them in our in-house archive file.
We strongly suggest that you keep a print record of the title you had on reserve for each course in each semester. At the end of each term, we will return your reserve lists for that term to you in campus mail. You may keep that list on file to resubmit in future terms. eReserve Files are stored in our in-house archives in folders by class, term, and instructor name. To find readings previously on eReserve, we must know the specific course, section and/or CRN number of the course; the term in which they were on eReserve; and the titles under which they were on eReserve previously. Without this information, your list will have to be rebuilt from scratch. The best way to provide this information to us is on the required reserve reading list.
To place materials that were on eReserve prior to Fall 2005 (or Summer 2005 if you participated in the pilot test) on Blackboard eReserves for the first time , please resubmit the photocopies with their cover sheets and/or folders as they contain the information that we need to locate the pdf files in our old archive file and transfer them into the course Blackboard eReserve folders.
