Placing Materials on Course Reserves

Covid-19: Due to the pandemic, extra precautions are in place which may limit access to Course Reserves. If you have questions about procedures for Course Reserves please contact us via email, or phone us at (937) 775-3941.

Using Course Reserves in Your Class

Where possible we recommend that any material that is accessed through Pilot should be linked to rather than, for example, embedding a PDF. Every time a student or faculty member uses a link to a library resource it counts as a use of your journal or resource. If you post the PDF, we can count only one use of the article/journal/resource.
