Library puts the materials up, including scanning them in many/most  
cases.  Library handles copyright. If left to the profs it would  
never get done.

No limit on number of items, though if someone goes crazy we'll talk  
with them.  Turn around is first come, first served, period.  Many  
are smart enough to get items in several weeks before the start of  
the term.  Ereserve won't solve the eternal problem of prof  
announcing in 10 oclock class that something is on reserve for them.   
Students show up at 1100 (well, a couple of them do).  Prof brings  
the material over after lunch.

  Does the library provide the support (staff) to do the linking to  
material in the databases? How is this handled?





I believe in most cases that we simply make a copy of the file on  
ereserve.  Much easier, and access still restricted to university  
students and staff.
