Electronic Reserves: Accommodating the Millennial Student

Abstract

Erin Hughes, Principal Library Assistant, Ramapo College of New Jersey; Irene Kuchta, Access Services Librarian, Ramapo College of New Jersey.

Frustration is a part of a student's day-to-day life, but when it comes to library resources, the millennial student should have clean, concise access to library materials. Electronic reserve allows students to access library owned materials via PDF files on a password-protected site, enabling them to do work from home and abroad. We intend to show how we managed to utilize Voyager products to makes library owned materials accessible via the internet to our very own millennial students. By focusing on the future of our library, we're able to provide our new generation of students with the tools they need by using the tools we need.
