eReserves Information

eReserve is a way to put library items, such as journal articles or book chapters, on digital reserve with appropriate copyright protections in place. 

In order to comply with copyright law, all eReserves will be placed on Blackboard in a course-specific folder within the Content Collection. Every course in the USC System has a Blackboard shell and corresponding Content Collection folder, whether or not the shell and folder are utilized by faculty.

Please fill out the Course Reserves Request Form for all eReserve items and allow three business days for processing. 

After a request is placed and processed, faculty must link to the item(s) within Blackboard. The course reserves specialist will send an email to faculty when materials are ready for linking with the course-specific search information needed. For help locating and linking to item(s) from the Content Collection, please contact the Course Reserves Specialist
