Course reserves migrating to a new system this summer
The Smathers Libraries’ course reserves will be migrating to a new system, Ares, on June 22. The new system has more features than the current system and is easier to use, which will be a great benefit to both faculty and students.
All faculty and students will need to create their own accounts using their UFID numbers and a password of their choosing, regardless of whether or not they previously had an account in the old course reserves system, Docutek.
A series of training dates for faculty on how to use the new system is scheduled throughout the months of June through August.
Faculty who are not able to attend one of the training sessions this summer, can view one-minute training videos on the new course reserves site.
Ares website: https://ares.uflib.ufl.edu

In the training sessions, faculty will create their accounts on the spot, view all the new features of Ares, learn how to submit materials and check their status online.

Marston Science Library Room 308, (10:00 – 11:00 a.m.)
