Collaborating with IT to Deliver E-Reserves Using Drupal and Zotero
The document outlines the collaboration between the library and IT at Amherst College to develop a new e-reserve system using Drupal and Zotero, aimed at enhancing student experience and streamlining staff workflows while addressing copyright costs. It details the integration with Datatel and the functionality of the system including access controls and citation management. Future plans include improving integration of print reserves and reporting tools for copyright data.
