De Anza College :: Library :: Electronic Course Reserves

Electronic Course Reserves

Now your students can access electronic Course Reserve materials from any computer connected to the web. Materials for electronic course reserves can be submitted in a number of ways.

You can submit URLs for library owned electronic items. We can add a direct link in your reserve list. For instance, the library subscribes to thousands of electronic books.
Links to other web sites or to journal articles available through a De Anza Library database can be placed on course reserve pages.
Text or images can be scanned. Files such as Word, Adobe PDF, Powerpoint, .wav can be uploaded directly to your reserve list.
Hard copies can be faxed in to the system.
Office hours, the names of teaching assistants, and other information can also be posted, and instructors can create discussion boards for their classes.

Faculty are responsible for managing their own course reserve pages once they have requested and received their Docutek ERes account.
