How To Use Electronic Reserves
Access to ERes will require your UW NetID. If you are a Cascadia or UW student, faculty, or staff member, you will need your UW NetID for access. If you do not have a UW NetID, please find instructions at:
http://www.cascadia.ctc.edu/uwnetid.asp (Cascadia students, faculty, and staff)
http://www.washington.edu/computing/uwnetid/ (UW students, faculty, and staff)
1. Open a web browser (Mozilla Firefox 3.x or Internet Explorer 7.0 is recommended). You can do this from any public terminal on campus, or from a work or home computer if you have Internet access there.
2. In the browser’s "address" window, type:
https://eres.bothell.washington.edu/
and press the ‘enter’ or ‘return’ key on your keyboard.
You can also access the Electronic Reserves page from the Campus Library homepage - http://www.uwb.edu/library/
3. Click on the Electronic Reserves and Course Materials link.
Search for your course by Department or Faculty name, then click on the 'search' key.
Click on the link for your course.
After reading the copyright statement, click on the 'accept' key.
Find the article you want to read or download and click on its link.
4. If you choose to download the file, open it in Adobe Acrobat Reader instead of in the web browser for faster printing. If you need Acrobat Reader (6.0 or higher is recommended) for your home or work computer, you can download it for free at:
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html
Adobe Acrobat Reader is also included on UWICK, the UW Internet Connectivity Kit. (UWB only)
If you're doing e-reserves from home you can free up your phone line sooner by downloading documents to your hard drive and viewing/printing offline:
Click on the 'save' icon on the upper left corner of the article.
A 'save-as' box will appear on the screen.
Name the file and save the "link" (the document) to your hard drive.
5. Printing electronic reserves in the Campus Library can be VERY slow the first weeks of the term. Please be patient, and print only what you need for the first week or two. If you try to print all of your reserve readings at once you might have to wait as long as an hour for your printing to be completed.
Please contact the Campus Library (425-352-5340) if you have problems or questions.
