Can I search the library catalog from home?
Yes. Go to the Library Catalog [http://catalog.lib.unomaha.edu/], and you may search from any computer with Web access.
Where do I search for my instructor's E-Reserves?
Go to Electronic Reserves [http://eres.unomaha.edu/], and you may search for items under your instructor's last name.
Can I access E-Reserves from home?
Yes. Go to Electronic Reserves [http://eres.unomaha.edu/], and you may search from any computer with Web access.
What kind of software do I need in order to access E-Reserves?
You will need Acrobat Reader to access some of the files. You can download it for free by going to the Adobe Web site.
Do I need a password to access E-Reserves?
You need a password, provided by your instructor, to access copyrighted material.
Can I print from E-Reserves?
Yes. Look for the print button on the Acrobat toolbar or the database screen where the article appears. It works best if you don't use the browser print button.
My document is sideways, do I have to try to read it that way?
On the Adobe toolbar, press the rotate button to change the direction of the words.
The print is small when I try to read from Acrobat Reader. Do I have to print it in order to read it?
No. Press the zoom button on the Adobe toolbar to zoom in and make the text larger.
When I try to print from Acrobat the page comes out blank. What should I do?
Try pressing the print button from the Adobe toolbar instead of the web browser print button.
Why do I need my ID and barcode number to access some of the documents?
Some of the files in Electronic Reserves are links to subscription databases, with licenses restricting use to people affiliated with UNO. In order to access the databases from off campus, you have to have a current account at the library.
Why does it take so long to open some of the documents?
Some documents are larger than others. We try to keep files to a manageable size. If it is taking too long to download from a dialup connection, come into the library and download the file from the computer workstations here.
When I enter my name and barcode number, it tells me "Account Expired." What does this mean?
This means that you need to renew your account at the library. Your account needs to be renewed every semester, either online or in person.
When I enter my name and barcode number, it tells me "Name and Barcode do not match." What does this mean?
This means that either you do not have an account at the library or your ID and barcode are different from the one on file at the library. You need to bring your ID into the library so we can create an account or update your barcode.
