The two week period of unrestricted access to scanned
e-reserves has now passed. Access control files have
been generated that will restrict access to scanned
e-reserves to the following groups:

       - cul staff involved in uploading and processing
               this material

       - those students and instructors registered for
               the class either as students or
               instructors (this includes some TAs)

       - others who have requested and been granted
               access to the Courseworks pages of a
               given class.

Invariably some students who have been referring to
scanned e-reserves will suddenly find themselves locked
out.  The following options are available for those not
registered or not recognized as being registered for a
class:

       - consult the printed copy in the library (when
          available)

       - request access to the courseworks page for the
          course; we receive a daily feed from Courseworks
          and process it on receipt.  This is the best
          option for TAs who find that they do not have
          access to electronic reserves for the course for
          which they are TAing.

If a reader feels he or she is being denied access in error
please refer them to the problem report form in the
Request-it section of Libraryweb.
