How do I get my ERes documents onto Camino?

3. Click on the Course Reserves Page tab and click the Accept button.
4. From here you can click on individual documents to download them one at a time or click on Download All As Zip to save them all at once.
5. Open your zip file, sign onto Camino and upload each file you intend to use.

What services does the library offer for electronic reserves?

The Course Reserves Department will:

• scan and/or upload documents to your Camino or ERes course pages
• help maintain ERes course pages
• act as first-tier support for questions regarding ERes
• redirect you to further resources for more complicated support questions

For help with Camino, you should contact an Instructional Technology Resource Specialist.

How do I prepare the documents I need scanned?

1. Include a Scanning Request Form and a Fair Use Checklist with your documents
2. If you have more than one document, keep them separated with paperclips, not staples.
3. Provide a full citation including author, title and source for all copyrighted material. Failure to provide such information may result in processing delays.
4. Prioritize the items in your request, preferably by including a course syllabus at the beginning of the quarter.

How long does it take to process my request?
Please allow at least three weekdays at the beginning of the quarter. Make sure you contact the Course Reserves Supervisor for current turnaround times before submitting anything marked urgent. 

What is the best way to contact the Course Reserves Supervisor?
The Course Reserves Supervisor is scheduled Sunday - Thursday during regular hours and can be reached by calling 408-554-5240 or by email libraryreserve@scu.edu.

Do I have access to my ERes documents which are no longer visible?
When you sign in to ERes using the Faculty/Staff Login you will be able to access all of your materials including inactive documents.

Who is responsible for making sure my electronic reserves comply with copyright law?
