To quote a famous radio talk show host, it's the way things ought to be! This practice of placing articles on electronic reserve at the campus library is indeed being implemented at colleges and universities. So far, no one seems to be batting an eye (unless they read this, of course). The issue of electronic reserves is discussed at length by Harper.

Some questions to consider:

     
  • Will only students at a distance enrolled in the course have access to the articles for that applicable course?
  • Will entry to the "virtual reserve room" (i.e., the web page which links to the articles to be accessed) be password-protected?
  • Will there be a notice in the virtual reserve room that warns against copyright infringement, identical to the notice that's routinely found on photocopiers in the library?
  • Will the library have a system in place to flag staff that the articles need to be removed from the web at the end of the term?
  • etc. etc. etc.
Go on to the next question.
