How do I link to e-Reserves

Link to the general E-Reserves entry page
To create a link to the general E-Reserves entry page, simply use this URL: http://www.remote.uwosh.edu/login?url=http://eres.uwosh.edu/eres/ to create a QuickLink in the editor. There is an E-Reserves link on the default library widget on every course homepage as well.
Link to your course E-Reserves page
You can also create a link to the page of E-Reserves for a specific course using the following steps. (Note: while you can create a link to a specific *course*, it is currently not possible to create links to a specific *document* on E-Reserves.)
First, find the E-Reserves page for the specific course you want.
- Go to the E-Reserves home page.
- Choose the name of the instructor from the menu.
- Select Search.
- Select the course number of the class you want.
- Select Accept to agree to abide by the US Copyright law.
- You will now be at the E-Reserves page for your specific course. If you are doing this on-campus, the URL at the top of your browser in the address line is the URL you’ll want to work with. If you’re doing this from off-campus, remove the “www.remote.uwosh.edu” from the URL. For example:
http://eres.uwosh.edu.www.remote.uwosh.edu/eres/coursepage.aspx?cid=1673&page=docs
becomes
http://eres.uwosh.edu/eres/coursepage.aspx?cid=1673&page=docs
Second, add the proxy information to the URL.
This is very important – if you don’t add this, the link will not work for anyone who is off-campus. So, one very simple step:
- Add the following to the front of the URL you identified above: http://www.remote.uwosh.edu/login?url= So, using the same example as above:
http://eres.uwosh.edu/eres/coursepage.aspx?cid=1673&page=docs
becomes
http://www.remote.uwosh.edu/login?url=http://eres.uwosh.edu/eres/coursepage.aspx?cid=1673&page=docs
That’s it! You can use this URL you’ve created to add links to your E-Reserves page wherever you’d like – in D2L, on your own personal webpage, in an email to your students, etc.
