What are E-Reserves?
E-Reserves contain the electronic form of recommended readings (chapter
of books and articles or personal tutorial notes). When a teaching staff
recommends a particular chapter of a book or an article from a journal,
library staff will scan the readings and convert it into a PDF file format
which will then be loaded to IVLE.
