What can we do at the Reserve desk to help save the environment?

How can using e-reserves help? The reserve system in any library is set up so that all students have access to an item- often times by limiting the amount of time they can check the item out. If we move to e-reserves (when practical) we can improve access for students who can reach the material from any computer that is connected to the internet.

How do we use this as a promotion tool? For articles and copies of articles, we can say that it's the students choice whether or not they print it or save it to their computers. Instead of handing them a paper copy, which they in turn copy, we can direct them to the online source, therefore saving paper.

A beginning of our ideas can be seen in our proposal.
