eReserve is a repository for subject readings made available electronically for reading lists. The Library eReserve team process requests and produce copyright or licence compliant readings for learning and teaching. It also manages copyright limits for print only resources across the whole University.

You must use the eReserve service in order to put any print only works online, unless you have the written permission from the copyright owner. See Leganto & Copyright.
