ERes is the electronic reserves service offered by the Medical Center Library. Instructors are able to place course material on ERes in convenient PDF format making course materials available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to students from any computer with an internet connection.

Many things may be placed on ERes including: Course syllabi, exams, lecture notes, Power Point presentations, articles, links to websites, excerpts from books (dependent on length of selection), material considered public domain.

Materials may be submitted either electronically or in hard copy form. A completed ERes Request Form must accompany all submitted materials.

To submit electronically materials should be emailed to the following address: ereshsc@slu.edu.

Be sure to notify Annie Ruzicka (ruzickae@slu.edu) or Trish Svendsen (svendsen@slu.edu) when material has been submitted electronically, to verify receipt of your course material.

To submit materials in hard copy, bring them to the Circulation Desk at the Medical Center Library. Be sure that all pages are single sided, and not stapled.

A fully completed electronic reserve form must be submitted along with the material for each website in order to insure proper copyright compliance.

Forms may be downloaded from our website http://www.slu.edu/libraries/pius/ereserves/forms.html or picked up at the Circulation Desk of the Medical Center Library.

Each class is assigned a course page to which all material is uploaded. On each course page materials are organized in folders according to the instructor’s organization preference.

Many instructors choose to organize course material in folders designating the week of the semester the material is needed. Others choose to organize according to subject headings.

All course pages will stay live until the end of the semester, at which time they will be automatically archived. Websites may be un-archived if requested by the instructor or department.

Yes, you may continue to submit additions throughout the semester.

Contact your instructor for your password. The Library does not give out ERes passwords.
