About ERes

ERes is the BMCC Library's electronic reserves system. With ERes, course materials are available on the web anytime, day or night.

To display documents, the Adobe Acrobat reader is required. If Acrobat is not installed on your computer, you can download it for free from Adobe.

Why Use ERes?

  • Materials are available 24 hours a day - 7 days a week.
  • You can view and print materials from any computer with internet access (on or off campus).


How to View Materials

  1. To access ERes go to: http://reserves.bmcc.cuny.edu/ or find it on the Library's homepage.
  2. Click the 'Electronic Reserves and Course Materials' link. Use the drop down menus to find your instructor's name, course number or department.
  3. Click on any link to get to your course page.
  4. Enter the password (ask your instructor), read the copyright information and click 'Accept.'
  5. Note: Passwords are case sensitive and unique for each course. If you forget or lose the password contact your instructor. Due to copyright laws library staff cannot give you the password.
  6. To view an item, click on it.
  7. Materials can be viewed, saved or printed (documents print clearer than they appear on screen).
Don't hesitate to ask for help! Contact the librarians at the Reference desk if you have any questions.
