Course-level Passwords for E-reserves

This semester we are implementing a new password system for accessing electronic reserve readings, streaming audio files, etc. The password will restrict access to course materials to the students enrolled in that course. Instructors will provide the password to enrolled students at the beginning of the term. If a student forgets his/her password, it is available from the circ desk supervisor, the reference librarian, academic support assistants, and often, on the PioneerWeb page for the course. Our goal with this procedure is to improve our compliance with copyright law while ensuring that students can get help with lost or forgotten passwords.
