Faculty Guidelines for placing material on E-Reserves Please allow up to one week to process requests. During peak times, processing may take longer.
Course instructors may use Blackboard, Stony Brook University's course management system, to allow students access to course readings 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. For further information, go to Blackboard.
If you want reserve staff to add library material to your course, you will need to give course builder privileges to the appropriate library for that course. (See Adding a Library as a Course Builder.) Then, complete the E-Reserves Request Form to have material added. Access to the documents in E-Reserves will be limited to faculty and students registered for the course. When documents are added to Blackboard by the library, they will be placed in the Content Area in the Blackboard course designated by the instructor, such as "Course Documents" or "E-reserves" in the left navigation bar.
What items are acceptable for E-Reserves course requests:
At this time, the only items accepted will be articles from journals owned by the library or supplied by you; a chapter from a book; and music pieces from sound recordings for Music Department classes and seminars, based on Fair Use copyright guidelines for classroom use. Include complete citations for each required item in order to have your requests processed accurately. Reserve staff will not place coursepacks or personally created anthologies, items available on-line or from E-journals, class notes, papers or tests on E-Reserves.
How to link articles in Blackboard:
You can link directly from your Blackboard course to articles in
the library databases by adding the prefix, https://libproxy.cc.stonybrook.edu/login?url=
, to the persistent or stable URL for the article. This
will allow students who are off-campus to access the Electronic
article. For example, if the URL for the article is: http://www.jstor.org/stable/431308,
the URL added to Blackboard should be: https://libproxy.cc.stonybrook.edu/login?url=http://www.jstor.org/stable/431308 . Step-by-step instructions on how to create a proxied URL are also available.
How to Submit your E-Reserves course requests:
You may process your requests by completing the E-Reserves
Request Form.
You may submit your requests by hand delivering hard copies to the
appropriate library, ensuring they are of high quality and legible.
For Music Library course reserves, faculty must supply their
own photocopies and a duplicate copy of each article to be placed
on e-reserve.
Copyright law places some restrictions on the use of copyrighted
materials, particularly use of Electronic Reserves. Course packs
will not be accepted for Reserves. For more information, see Copyright
Policies and Guidelines for Course Reserves.

member from the appropriate library as listed below:
