ERes is an electronic reserve program maintained by LAU Libraries. Your instructor is using ERes to distribute course documents or to make course readings available over the internet.
To begin, go to the e-Reserve Home Page (http://ereserve.lau.edu.lb/).
Click on “Electronic Reserves: Documents and Course Material.” A screen will appear presenting you with three options for finding your course’s ERes page.
1. The default setting allows you to search for your course’s ERes page by entering the course number, course name, department or instructor. Select the search criteria from the drop-down list, enter your search string (e.g., 201, Mathematics, General Business, Naaman) and click Search.
2. You may also choose to find your course by looking at a list of courses within a particular department. In this case click the middle tab (“Course Reserves Pages by Department”). Select a department from the list and click “View.”
3. Your last choice is to find your course by looking at a list of all the courses maintained by a particular instructor. Select an instructor from the list and click “View.”
When the search is complete, a screen will appear with a list of all the ERes pages that match your search criteria.
Click on the Course Number that corresponds to the course you are looking for.
When the copyright notice appears you may be prompted for a password. If a password is required, enter the password given to you by your instructor before clicking “Accept”.
The ERes page for your course will appear on the screen displaying a list of documents associated with your course.
To view a document, click on its Title. A new screen will appear displaying information about the document (e.g., title, number of pages, description).
Most documents usually contain one of two types of information: files (PDF) and web links.
To view the web link, click on “Click here for more information.” A new browser window will open displaying the web page.
To view the document, click on the Filename. It is possible that there may be more than one file listed; each must be viewed separately.
Once you have finished viewing the file or web link, click “Close Window”. You can then move on to the next document or exit e-Reserve.
