Changes to E-Reserve

Image
The Library is now going to use D2L as the platform for our E-reserve system.  No more double logins or need for students to check for your online course materials in a separate system!  We will still offer all of the services that we previously provided – helping you identify, purchase and scan materials as well as guidance on any applicable copyright rules – but now we will post the materials as a module in D2L.    If you’ve used E-reserve in the past, our first step is for you to give us permission to transfer the content over to D2L from the old system.  To get started in the transition,  contact Terri Muraski ( 715-346-3349 , tmuraski@uwsp.edu ).
