Abstract
At Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), the electronic reserves system available through the library's integrated library system (ILS) was activated and publicized, but no takers appeared. Yet, the number of traditional reserves requests decreased during the same period, suggesting that another method of connecting class registrants with content was taking place. Whether more content, such as journal articles and book chapters, was being diverted into coursepacks or delivered through library databases was not clear. However, the new Instruction Coordinator made it a goal to raise awareness of durable linking methods to subscribed database content in order to leverage expensive library subscriptions, to ensure legitimate distribution of such content and to integrate library content, alongside services, into the online learning environment via Blackboard courseware.
