E-Reserves Printing & Viewing Instructions

Get Started

• E-reserves are available anywhere you have access to the Worldwide Web — on or off campus
• To view and print most e-reserve documents, you must have the free Adobe Acrobat Reader software (version 5 or higher).

Review and Select E-Reserves

• To find e-reserve readings, click on the "Course Documents" button in the left menu bar and then click on the "E-reserves" link
• To view an e-reserve click on the highlighted text in the citation. The item will open in Acrobat reader, Word, Excel, or other format
• Wait for the document to load completely before moving through it or trying to print it. Some of the e-reserves are quite long, so this may take a minute or two, especially if you’re connecting to the site from off campus using a modem or if you’re using an older computer
• Close memory-intensive applications (e.g., GroupWise, Banner) to improve the loading speed

Printing Tips

• Make sure the document is fully loaded before trying to print
• Click on the Acrobat Reader printer icon to open up the print settings menu
• Set Printer to: "Fit to Page"
• Set Print Range to: "All Pages" or select only the pages you need
• Set Print: "Odd and Even Pages"

Troubleshooting

• Can't log into Moodle? Contact ITS
• Course is not listed under "My Courses:" Contact your professor so she/he can add you to the Moodle site
• Printed documents have blank pages or partially printed pages: Hit the "Reload" button on your browser navigation bar, wait for the document to completely load, try printing again
• Missing pages, only every other page prints out: Check the print settings menu and select "Odd and Even Pages"
