Usually there will be an eReserve block of unit readings (and exams if they are available) on the right hand side of your moodle units. Some units link directly to the relevant eReserve readings within each topic. Alternatively, there is a link to eReserve in the footer at the bottom of every moodle site.

Viewing and printing eReserve readings and Past exams

Lists of eReserve readings for a unit are displayed in alphabetical order by title. To re-sort a list by authors' family names, simply click the Author column heading. You can toggle back to title order by clicking the Title column heading.

Viewing Readings and Past exams

Click on the underlined reading or exam Title and the PDF image will be displayed. If the document image is not upright on the screen click the Rotate View icon on the Adobe Acrobat Reader toolbar until it is. Each click of the icon will rotate the page through 90 degrees.

If the document does not display you may need to load Adobe Acrobat Reader software.

If you still have difficulty retrieving the documents it may be a file size issue (document image files tend to be large). Try our Connections troubleshooting page.

If you experience any difficulties you are unable to resolve, you can email the eReserve Team (Cody Fookes and Kirra Porter), who will help you with any problems.

How can I increase the print size on the screen if it is too small to read?

In Adobe Acrobat Reader:

  1. Click the magnifying glass icon on the Adobe Acrobat tool bar (immediately above the text).
  2. Place the cursor over the text you want to read and click again.

Printing eReserve readings or Past exams

Simply click the printer icon on the Adobe Acrobat Reader toolbar (don't use the print icon in your browser.)

Are all course readings and exams available online?

Journal articles and individual book chapters are contributed to eReserve by lecturers. Not all the material on reading lists is provided to eReserve. You are usually able to request these items individually through the Library.

While there are large numbers of e-books now available online, they may not be the titles you require. Printed books are still available for loan from the Library.

Not all exam papers are publicly available. Some units restrict access and these exams are unavailable from the Library in any form.

Who has access to eReserve?

Use of eReserve materials is limited to University of New England students and staff.

Can I log in from home or other places off campus?

Use your internet connection to visit the University Library and then eReserve. You will need to authenticate yourself by entering your UNE username and password when accessing eReserve. Visit the UNEonline Registration page to obtain your username and password if you don't already have them.
