Course Reserve Changes for Fall 2009
Electronic course reserves: The KU Libraries will no longer handle the complete electronic course reserves process from the copyright review stage through making the documents available online in our system after the completion of the summer 2009 semester (July 31st, 2009). Blackboard will serve as the one, campus-wide solution for electronic course content management.
