Enter your course information in the course settings fields by selecting your department from the drop-down menu, key in your course number and name, and select the term and year from the drop-down menus.
If you do not want to enter any of the optional course settings information in step 2, proceed to step 3 and select the Save button.

Enter any additional information you wish to include in your ERes course settings in Step 2. Instructors should add a password to each ERes course and distribute that password to students enrolled in the course—this will help limit access to only those students enrolled in your course. The course password is required if the Libraries add coprighted material to your course.
Please enter a password for each course!
The Course Description box can be used for course meeting times & office hours. Anything entered in the Announcement box will appear at the top of your course reserve page. If using Blackboard, use the Courseware Link box to enter a link to your Blackboard course.
Select the Save button after entering all optional course information.

Select the course, then select the course settings tab.
