What are eReserves?

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.

The eReserve system provides 24/7 access via the web to course materials required in support of the UNCG curriculum.
Access to these materials is through Blackboard at UNCG and is limited to the students, faculty and staff of UNCG.
eReserve documents are stored in Adobe PDF (portable document format) format.
Access to these documents is available through a web browser
Viewing and printing ereserve documents requires the use of the free Adobe Acrobat Reader
It is intended that all ereserves will be viewed and printed for personal use only
Photocopied documents submitted for ereserve must meet the criteria contained in the Guidelines for Photocopies for Reserves and eReserves
Photocopies are scanned using a high-speed scanner with a document feeder in black and white mode, binary color format, at 200 dots per inch. When printed these documents look exactly like the original photocopies. They cannot be edited or reformatted for print by the user. Viewed electronically they look different from the original photocopies due to screen resolution settings. To enhance electronic viewing, enlarge the print size.
The Reserve Staff adds pdf files to the Blackboard eReserves folders of all courses.  Instructors do not have access to these folders and cannot add or edit the files stored in them.  The eReserve folder tab appears in courses only after the Reserve staff adds it.  Additionally, you course must be enabled.  If your course is not enabled, we will do one of the following based upon your preference as indicated on your reserve form:
