Documents that you provide in print or electronic format, as well as electronic materials owned by the Library, can be placed on electronic reserve and made available to your students in your Brightspace site. Examples of items that can be placed on e-reserve include: syllabi, exams, lecture notes, journal articles, book chapters, study materials, and material from websites. 

How do I send materials to the Library so that they will be posted as e-reserves, and how long will it take?

• To request materials be placed on e-reserve, please submit our E-Reserve Request Form.
• If you already have a PDF copy of the material, please send it as an email attachment to Nancy O'Sullivan at naosullivan@assumption.edu.
• Individual readings over 50 pages will be placed on reserve in print and made available for check-out at the Front Desk of the Library.
• To ensure that materials will be available when your students need them, please submit your materials well before the start of the semester (at least two weeks) and at least one week in advance of an assignment during the semester. 
• If you have any questions, please contact Nancy O'Sullivan at naosullivan@assumption.edu or 508.767.7271.
