Course Reserves & Scanning

Disclaimer

Note: Library staff will fill requests in the order that they are received. Unfortunately, we are unable to fulfill same-day submissions. We will work as quickly as possible to fulfill your request.

How do I place something in reserve that's already in Drake?

 
Contact the Drake Circulation Department (x2277) directly with your request.
 

How do I make my scanned PDF searchable (OCR)?

Adobe PDF logoYou can use Adobe Acrobat DC or Adobe Acrobat Pro to run OCR (Optical Character Recognition) on your PDFs in order to make them accessible and searchable.

Adobe Acrobat DC and Adobe Acrobat Pro are different from Adobe Acrobat Reader in that they allow you to edit and manipulate PDF documents.

-Adobe Acrobat DC is available on College owned PCs by opening a ticket with the IT Service Desk

-You may also purchase a copy of Adobe Acrobat Pro for your personal PC or Mac through OnTheHub.

If you need assistance with downloading and installing Adobe Acrobat DC from the Software Center or with purchasing Adobe Acrobat Pro through OnTheHub, contact the Help Desk at x5151 opt. 1. 

Can I place something I own on reserve for my course?

Yes! Just fill out the Request to Add Books/Media form and bring it to the Circulation Desk in Drake Library.
