Electronic Reserves

Online Request is available!!! Make your request here!

1.) Complete the Electronic Reserve Request Form.  
i. Book Chapters: If you are placing a chapter from a book on e-reserve, please bring the photocopy of the chapter to the Library Circulation Desk. If you need help to make photocopies, please bring the book, clearly mark which chapter you want to use for reserve, and we’ll do the rest of the work for you. To compy with copyright, we can only reserve one chapter for you per academic semester.

ii. Online Journal Articles: If you are able to find the article in our online databases, you only need to submit the citation of the article on the  online Request for Course Reserves Form and indicate which database you find it. We’ll be able to link the article to your course.

iii. Print Journal Articles: Print journal articles are digitized by the Library Staff and made available to your course. Please bring a copy of the article or the journal that contains the article to the Library Circulation Desk. Please be sure that your copy is clean.  The product of our scanning will be only as good as the original you give us.  First generation copies are best.  Blurred copies cannot be repaired.

If you have electronic files of the articles, please send the e-reserve request form and files via an e-mail to the Multimedia Specialist, Wenling Ma at maw@sacredheart.edu. Any type of text/image file is acceptable. We will convert it to PDF.

2) Deadlines. 
Please bring or send your e-reserve materials to the Library as early as you can.  The beginning of Spring and Fall semester is the busiest time for e-reserve. Usually it takes about two business days to process each request. We will try our best but cannot guarantee to make the materials immediately available to your course. Therefore, early submission will be very helpful.
