Reserved Readings

View Student Instructions

Faculty may provide class room links to external material through the Reserved Readings feature available through the Faculty Center.  To submit materials to be posted in your class, complete the e-reserve request from at https://prospero.umuc.edu/cgi-bin/ereserves/eres_start.pl

Because of processing time, faculty are encouraged to submit requests at least four weeks before the beginning of the semester.  This allows enough time to process your materials and investigate any copyright issues.  For further information please contact the Information and Library Services at  301-985-7209 or via e-mail at library@umuc.edu.

Please note that the electronic reserves stored in the Reserved Readings on WebTycho are protected under the Section 107 of the Copyright Act of 1976, The Fair Use Statute. The electronic reserves have been made available solely for the use in the class and the materials may not be further distributed to any person outside the class, whether by copying or by transmission in electronic or paper form.

Make Sure the Checkbox for Available is Checked.
