Electronic Reserve: To access electronic reserve, go to the library site from the Grinnell Web Page. Select “library catalog” in the library site. Then look for the heading “Search for course reserves” and click either “By Instructor” or “By Course.” After you select the correct course, you will find a listing of all the articles on reserve. Please note that two of them, the chapter from As Seen on TV, and the chapters from Droppin’ Science, are NOT available on e-reserve, but they are on reserve at Burling. If you click on those articles you will not be able to print them. When you click on any of the e-reserve titles, you will be asked to type in your user name and your college ID number, so you should have that with you when you try to print the articles. After the article comes up on the screen, remember to use the print icon on Acrobat Reader, and not the icon at the top of the screen.
