Faculty Information on Reserves

Library Reserves Access:

Our Reserves Shelves are found at the Circulation Desk, on the main floor of the Library. A valid Tech I.D. is needed in order to check-out Reserves.

Circulation period varies on Reserve Items. The late fee for Reserves is $3.00 per hour, per Reserve material. Most reserve materials can only be used within the Library with some exceptions.

Electronic Reserves Access:

Electronic Reserves are found on Blackboard. This system provides easy access to articles, class notes, and other materials which meet copyright guidelines and have been submitted by faculty for reserve.

Students may access the site from the convenience of their dormitory rooms or homes. Access is also available using equipment in the Library's Electronic Reference Center, the Student Technology Lab located on the 10th floor, or the Computer Lab on 3rd floor, Wyly Tower.

To access Electronic Reserves, go to Tech's Blackboard Site.

Your USER NAME will be your Louisiana Tech issued user-id (this is the id for your email account). This can be obtained from the front desk of the Computing Center (Wyly Tower 116). The default password is set to your 8 digit student ID number without the dashes.

Once you log on, choose your course from the list of courses you are taking. Under the tab labeled "Course Documents" you will find materials placed by your teacher.

NOTE: If you are connected via your own computer, you must have Acrobat Reader installed in order to view these files.

Tech faculty are encouraged to contact Mrs. Laura Ogden at 318-257-3555 or email laura@latech.edu if they have specific questions regarding Reserves.
