How students access language learning materials on the Library ereserves system
- Note the important update in red below.
- This has been tested at post date with Firefox. ereserves seems to be not compatible with Internet Explorer 8: i
- On the Library home page, from the top menu: “Research & Course Help”, choose menu item: “Course Reserves” (or, if this menu changes again, I have a hunch that deeplinking may be more stable: http://library.uncc.edu/caos/coursereserve, what’s in a URL…),
- sign in with your Ninernet ID,
- enter search term
- select from the dropdown “search by name”, an enter part of your course name in the textbox,
- or click on tab:”Course Reserves Pages by Instructor”, and from the dropdown, select your instructor,
- click search,
- then select your course from the results grid.
- Enter the password, which has been given to your by your instructor.
- In the results grid, click on the desired chapter and tracks. Note: You need to disable your web browser”s “popup blocker”.
- In the popup window, click on link: “More information”,
- when offered, , like in this screenshot:
- you cannot save the file, or rather: only a text file with links to the audio which you cannot play, like rtsp://dlib4.uncc.edu:554/e_reserves/CD1bonneforme12-16.rm). That is by design.
- Instead of trying to save, select to “open” the file. You need have a streaming audio playing software installed, like Real Player or the open source VLC-Player.
- instead of VLC, as offered by default, like so :
- choose “Open with”, “Other”, pick “RealPlayer” from the list, like so:
- Here is a more on what does not work with ereserves. The only combination I could get to work with eReserves streaming audio is – see resulting screencast (requires Windows Media Player) of streaming a long file successfully – is RealPlayer 14, Firefox 3.6 on Windows XP3, and that only after resetting the Winsock catalog which I can do for the entire LRC only nownext time the lab is reimaged. For now, use instead audio from Moodle metacourses where possible.
