Step-by-step Guide to Accessing E-Reserves

  1. From the North Hall Library Homepage (click here to follow along in a separate window), click on Reserves & E-Reserves.

  2. Choose an Instructor or Course from the pop-up lists, and click on Search.

  3. A list of titles on reserve will display. This list includes e-reserves as well as print and non-print (videos, music, etc.) reserves. Click on one of the titles on this list.

  4. If an item is available as an e-reserve, there will be a link that says "Click Here For Article". Click on the link.

  5. If you are on campus, the e-reserve will open in Adobe Acrobat.

  6. If you are off campus, you will be asked to enter your 18-digit ID number from your university ID card. Once your ID number is verified, click on the link to access the article.

  7. Use the browser's back button to return to PILOT if you want to access other e-reserves.

If you have trouble accessing E-Reserves, please contact the Information Desk at 570-662-4671 or email us through our Ask a Librarian online form.
