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.
