[Web4lib] As the manager of the electronic reserves program at my

[McHale, Nina]

Rachel,

I'll second Dan on Docutek's ERes. I've worked in two libraries that use
it, and both are very happy with it. If memory serves, it's fairly
affordable, and it will no doubt save you time over your current
process--use that angle to sell it to your admin, if necessary. :)
Faculty and students like it for ease of use.

You won't be able to get into the reserves themselves, obviously, but
here are some links to supporting pages from my former place of
employment, including forms that manage submissions and copyright info:

http://ereserves.howardcc.edu/eres/default.aspx 

Hope this helps,

Nina

Boise State is one of a great many libraries that uses ERes from
Docutek.  http://www.docutek.com/products/eres/index.html  We're very
happy with it.  Some libraries do it with a course management tool like
BlackBoard.

You might wish to post your question to the CIRCPLUS list, as there have
been many discussions of this topic there.

If I can help further, please let me know.
