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 for
E-Reserve , library staff will scan the readings and convert it into a PDF
file format which will then be loaded to IVLE.
