Using eReserve, you can easily manage documents through an intuitive web interface, ensure copyright compliance, and retrieve detailed reports—thereby assuring your full copyright compliance by your institution. eReserve has procedures built in to ensure copyright audit compliance from the moment materials are entered into it. In case of an ISBN/ISSN conflict, conflicting resources are flagged so that administrators may choose the resource/s they would like to make active. Each time a resource is viewed the correct copyright notice is displayed, and even if a student bookmarks the resource it is redisplayed with a link to item. Copyright Auditor Reports—for the easy management of document reports and compliance during copyright audit periods are also possible.
In addition to copyright reports, eReserve enables administrators to review and specify document availability over time—for example semester-specific—or reconfigure settings to suit copyright or other needs. Reports detail the most/least viewed, printed, and accessed materials to enable more efficient management of resources and to improve effectiveness of learning strategies.
The reports also show authorised administrators the total savings resulting from the use of eReserve, and assist with internal audit and review processes. Custom reports can easily be added as required.
RapidPrint™
has a workflow process for document and material submission that enables academic or other staff to submit materials, but with
materials only being made active after sign-off from an authorised administrator.
Depending on how your institution prefers to do things, eReserve can integrate with secure payment systems, cash-based POS systems, and swipe-card facilities. Operators can release a print job if taking payment manually, or the system can integrate with existing card services in use at your institution to ensure ease of use, minimal change and disruption, and the automatic release of jobs once payment is received—without any human operator involvement.
eReserve can integrate directly with your preferred Learning Management System (LMS) to deliver specific course and study materials directly to students from your preferred LMS or online course delivery system. Availability of materials can be set to comply with your copyright obligations. eReserve integrates with commercial LMS packages such as Blackboard and Open Source options such as Moodle.

The core of the eReserve system can be extended with additional plugins and components to suit your needs. eReserve and RapidPrint™ (a distributed print extension) work together giving a flexible document delivery system across campuses, schools, and faculties. Using RapidPrint™, students can easily print off the documents they need, when they need them, saving money and reducing waste from overprinting.
Our technical team use best practice development techniques such as continuous integration and unit testing while developing eReserve and its extensions.
Implementation of an eReserve system immediately starts saving your institution money and resources. Students print only the resources and materials that they want, when they want, thus preventing the excessive printing of redundant or unwanted materials. The costs of printing, shipping, returning unwanted copies, and poor copyright compliance are all avoided when using eReserve.
All study materials, assets, and resources inserted into the eReserve system are easily managed and reviewed by staff to ensure that latest and most up-to-date or copyright-compliant materials are available to students.
