In mid 2001, Docutek began a
relationship with several universities in the University of
Wisconsin system. The following quotes are from students enrolled
in a pilot class at the University of Wisconsin, Oshkosh.
First Response: The eReserve Experience
Polk Library News, August 2001, Issue 14
Dr. Matthew Birnbaum, Political Science/Public Administration,
pioneered eReserve with his students this summer. His
students respond:
"I really liked using the e-reserve. It was so quick,
and easy. I didn't have to worry about driving to Oshkosh
and then copying the required readings. I had no difficulties
in downloading either. I hope all instructors will have
this option available."
"I thought the reserve readings placed online were great,
more convenient and economical than providing them in
the bookstore or library."
"...the online reserve readings were incredible. What
a resource. It truly made life a lot easier. I would love
to see this used more extensively."
"I did not have a single problem with downloading any
of the on-line reserve readings. Considering the time
it would take for me to go to the library to make copies
it is by far and away the most cost and time savings part...
I really hope all future MPA classes utilize it extensively
because many of us live in distant places, most work full-time
jobs (with ocassional travel), and have families which
makes the time savings of downloading versus copying at
the library very valuable. Thank you."
"The online reserve readings were TREMENDOUSLY helpful--especially
for folks like me who live quite a distance from the campus..."
