What Are Electronic Course Reserves?

Your professor may place course materials on reserve for you to access through the Library.

Electronic Course Reserves are e-books, chapters, or articles that can be accessed online from anywhere.

There are two ways to access Electronic Reserves: Through the SMC Library website, and through your Canvas course page. 

Access Electronic Reserves through the Library Website

1) Starting at the SMC Library homepage, select "Course Reserves" directly above the Library Search box.

2) In the left column, you'll see a list of courses. If your professor has reserved course materials, you will see your course code in this location. For example: If you are in Writing 101, look for WRIT-101.
