Frequently more and more professors are putting their course reserves online. This video demonstrates those course reserves which have uploaded using ARES: the electronic course reserve service at the University of Guelph-Humber.
All the materials found in ARES have received the appropriate licenses and copyright clearances.
To begin go on the University of Guelph-Humber's library homepage.
Scroll down and click Access Course Reserves.
Then click Access the ARES Course Reserve System.
You will then be asked to log-on using your Guelph Central Login. This is the same as your Gryphmail.
Then scroll down to find your course. And if you don't see a course that you are currently registered for listed, it's because there are no reserves available for that course at the present time.
The process to access the different types of media that are available in ARES is very straightforward and it is the same for each type.
But I am going to show you some of the different types of media, you can find on ARES, such as database articles, webpages and PDFs.
So to access an item, you click on its title and then click View This Item.
You then have to click Log In with Single Sign On. Although you will probably not be asked to log-in again.
And in this example, the article from The Globe and Mail is found via a ProQuest database.
If at any point you need to go back to the main menu, all you need to do is just hit the back button on your browser.
In this next example, I am accessing an article from a website.
Just click the title and then View This Item.
And in this case, you've been taken to the relevant page on the CBC website.
You can also search for readings by the week that they are assigned, which is a neat feature that makes it easier to find the appropriate readings.
In this example, I am looking for a reading that is in a PDF format.
And again, I click View This Item
And it arrives in a PDF.
And it's really that simple. Any faculty who would like to learn more about ARES are encouraged to contact the library staff.
