At the start of the new semester in August 2003, some students in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences and the School of Business obtained their course readings directly from the Integrated Virtual Learning Environment (IVLE). Instead of going to the library’s RBR collection to borrow the printed copies of the articles and book chapters, the students were able to retrieve the readings digitally over the campus network. This quiet introduction of the Library E-Reserves met with an overwhelming response from our students.
