• FLITE will place digital texts or images, sound files, or other online materials in a password-protected site made available for students enrolled in a course for a single semester.
• Many full-text articles and other online materials have been purchased or licensed by FLITE and are available electronically. Faculty are encouraged to identify and assign these whenever possible, as materials owned or licensed by the library can often be used without obtaining additional permissions.
• Access to library owned or licensed electronic content will be provided by a link to the library or vendor webpage from which the content can be downloaded by the student
• At the end of each semester, access to eReserves will be discontinued for students enrolled in the course.

Please contact your Liaison Librarian to request library materials to be made available via eReserves.
