ERes notice to faculty

This message has gone out to Faculty and is the first of many communications to faculty instructors about the changes to eres.

To Whom It May Concern:

In order to support the campus’ goal of providing a consistent user experience for the entire campus learning community and eliminate costly duplicative services, the University Library’s Electronic Reserve service will be undergoing several changes over the 2010-2011 academic year.

Beginning Fall 2010, Electronic Reserves (ERes) will be offered through eCommons, UCSC's new Education Commons and Collaborative Learning Environment. Scanning and posting of documents will continue through the fall quarter. Additionally, the Reserves Department will be working closely with instructors to teach them how to directly manage their course materials and resources, in order to prepare for winter and spring service changes.

In Winter 2011, hard-copy material will continue to be scanned and posted in eCommons. The Reserves Department will no longer be posting material that is electronically delivered. The department will continue to work closely with instructors to ensure they have resources available to them to successfully manage their course materials in eCommons.

In Spring 2011, the Reserves Department will no longer post course material. Scanning of hard-copy material will continue, but all documents will be e-mailed to the instructor for posting once they have been scanned. The Reserves Department will offer eCommons referral support during this time.

If you have any comments, questions, or concerns about this transition, please do not hesitate to contact us. We will send more information as it becomes available.

Regards,

Victoria L. Nobles
