Student Access for e-Reserves

  1. First, your computer will need a copy of the Adobe Acrobat Reader. Computers in the campus labs (including the Library) have this software pre-loaded, so they're okay to use. If you need to get this software for your PC, use our Tech Help page to get the latest version free. If you need help, call Penfield Library Reference Desk at 315-312-4267.

  2. Click on the "Course Reserves" link on the library homepage or in the address bar of your browser, type: http://illiad.oswego.edu/ares/ares.dll and hit Enter.

  3. Login with your LakerNetID and password.

  4. First time users will need to fill out an information form.

  5. Search for your course, either by Department (English, for example) or Instructor's name. If your instructor has multiple classes, select the appropriate class.

  6. Read the information about copyright, and click Accept.

  7. Click on the particular item you are interested in. You must now enter the password your professor gave you. Without this password, you will not be able to access the e-Reserves. If you have lost your password, see your instructor immediately. 

  8. If you need help, please call Penfield Library Circulation Desk at 315-312-2560.
