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. In the address bar of your browser, type: http://eres.oswego.nnyln.net and hit Enter, or click off the "Electronic Reserves" link on the library homepage.

3. From the main page, click on Electronic Reserves and Course Materials.

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

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

6. 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. Library staff cannot give you this password. (If you're off campus, you will be prompted for a second password. Log in exactly as if you were logging into your Oswego mail.) You may now read it off the screen, save it, or print it. The printed copy will appear clearer than the on-screen copy.

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