Register your Class Web Page

The Libraries' try to maintain a list of course web pages. See http://www.lib.muohio.edu/classes/materials/ to register your class page.


Electronic Reserves

You can put materials on electronic reserve for your classes. Students seem to like this alternative as they can access these materials at anytime, even when the library is closed. The libraries scan journal articles, book chapters, even class notes. Students must have Adobe Acrobat Reader to view your items. The system is password protected, is available for the semester, and will not violate copyright. Depending on demand, the lead time to place materials in electronic reserve is about 24 hours.

Thesis and Dissertations

After this year (2000-2001), all thesises and dissertations will be submitted electronically. That means that the libraries will no longer reatain (nor ever really have) a printed/paper copy.

New Books and What's New in the Libraries

Each week the libraries list those new titles added to the collection. In addtion, periodically, we send over book covers.

What's New in the Libraries covers exhibits and other activities in the libraries.
