Electronic reserves, or e-reserves, are course reserve readings that are made accessible electronically, either by linking to existing digital versions of the content or by scanning print materials and making them accessible as PDF files. The library offers this service which can be used with your Moodle shell or in place of a shell. The service is used for posting materials such as assigned readings, syllabi, and solutions to problems.
E-reserves are available from any networked computer on or off campus. Items are protected with a password provided by the faculty member. Students can find E-reserves on the library home page by searching by the course or professor’ name.
If you have any questions about e-reserves, or if you would like to learn more about using this service, please contact Yumi Pak ypak@bergen.edu or 201-447-7982 or Joan Dalrymple jdalrymple@bergen.edu or 201-612-5236.

Electronic Reserves
If you would like to place supplemental course materials on e-reserve, please email materials to the E-Reserves Coordinator at ereserve@bergen.edu or bring documents to the Library Service Desk. The complete document must be included with your request. Electronic format is preferred.
E-reserve submissions must include the following information:
• Your name and contact information
• Course number and section
• Complete citation for the article or chapter
• What document title we should use for the e-reserve record
• A password your students will use to access the documents
Do you currently have items on e-reserve? Please notify the E-Reserves Coordinator if you will need them in subsequent semesters. Otherwise, the items will be removed from e-reserve.

Textbook Reserves
The library purchases many of the textbooks used in BCC courses for its reserve collection at the Service Desk.
However, textbooks that are late additions to the bookstore list may not make it to our shelves. To make sure
that the Library owns a copy of the textbook used in your course, check our online catalog
at www.bergen.edu/library.
If you do not see your course textbook or need other materials placed on reserve, please email us at
reserves@bergen.edu or call the Service Desk at x7970.
Also, consider placing your personal copy of a book on “Teacher Reserve.” We return “Teacher Reserve” items to you at the end of the semester, or earlier upon your request.
