Abstract:
A system and method automating the placement of paper documents in electronic reserves system. A document to be placed on reserve is faxed to a network server. The network server automatically receives the faxed document and converts it to a pre-determined file format, such as PDF. The converted document is placed in a staging directory including a list of faxed documents pending to be placed on electronic reserve. The network server provides a graphical user interface that the transmitting user accesses over the Internet to access the staging directory. The user selects the faxed document from the staging directory, and indicates that it be moved to a particular reserves area. The particular reserves area may be a course page for a course offered by an educational institution.
