Textbooks on Reserves - A reminder to students that the Libraries’ electronic reserves (e-reserves) system is available and many classes contain the required reading materials for your course. If you have been using the Textbooks on Reserves in the Libraries in print format, first check Vitalsource (use @maine.edu email to login or create an account) and Redshelf to see if the textbook is available for free for the rest of the semester. If it is not, ask your faculty member to request the appropriate chapters or pages be scanned and placed on e-reserves. Due to copyright, we are unable to scan an entire textbook. Faculty can submit scanning requests to usm.reserves@maine.edu
