Here are some pointers to help you get the most out of the system:

Search by course number, not by course name.

The E-Reserves system is designed to be searched by course number. So, if you're looking for readings for your "Introduction to Psychology" class, you'll want to search for the course number, not the name. The course number for "Introduction to Psychology" is PSY 10, so that's what you should search for.

Check the box for "Only show items with full text online.

When you do a search, make sure to check the box for "Only show items with full text online." This will ensure that you only see results for readings that are available online.

Narrow your search results by date.

Once you've done a search, you can narrow your results by date. This is helpful if you're looking for readings for a specific term or semester. To do this, click on the "Narrow by date" option on the left side of the screen.

Use the "Citation Tools" to create a citation for your readings.

If you need to create a citation for a reading, you can use the "Citation Tools" link on the right side of the screen. Just click on the link and then select the citation style you need.

Access your readings through the "My E-Reserves" link.

Once you've found the readings you need, you can access them through the "My E-Reserves" link. This link is located in the top right corner of the screen. Just click on the link and then log in with your UCSD user ID and password.
