Docutek ERes Testimonials - Missouri-Columbia
The University of Missouri-Columbia Libraries deployed our Docutek ERes
system to help meet the increasing demand for electronic course reserves.
Due to a substantially large amount of items placed on e-reserve by faculty,
the Libraries also use the DocuFax module, which enables any faculty member
to fax their reserve materials directly into the system. Docutek ERes
has won praise from both the faculty and the students. The following is
an excerpt of a presentation on Docutek ERes given by June DeWeese, Head
of Access Services, University of Missouri-Columbia Ellis Library at the
Second Annual MOBIUS Conference, June 1, 2001.
