Using Reserve Materials

  • Viewing PDF's

    Adobe PDF (Portable Document Format) is universal file format that preserves all the fonts, formatting, graphics, and color of any source document, regardless of the application and platform used to create it.  PDF files preserve the exact appearance of the document, as well as allowing for copyright protection.  Adobe PDF files are compact and can be shared, viewed, navigated, and printed exactly as intended by anyone with free Adobe Acrobat Reader software. You can convert any document to PDF format using the latest version of Adobe Acrobat software.

    The Library scans material for Online Reserves on a Fujitsu Image Scanner & an HP Scanjet Scanner at 300 dpi. For reserve material sent to the Library electronically, settings could vary depending on how the instructor scanned the material.

  • Printing Problems

    If you are expierencing problems printing make sure you are using the most recent version of Adobe Acrobat Reader and your web browser is also up to date. For further assistance contact OIT.
