OCRA is a platform for\u00a0faculty to request digital course reserves in all formats. \u00a0Students access digital course reserves via Canvas or at the standalone OCRA site<\/a>. \u00a0Students access physical reserves in library buildings via Josiah<\/a>.<\/p>\n The following is the archive of ORCA development information.<\/p>\n Over the past several months I’ve added a number of\u00a0new requesting features in OCRA<\/a>. One side effect of this work was the creation of a framework for finding reservable items and adding them to OCRA with as little user input as possible. Our new Google Chrome extension<\/a> is one\u00a0use of this system.<\/p>\n The Ocrifier tool is designed to make it easy for OCRA users (faculty and staff) to add items from the Internet to course reserves. Install the extension<\/a>\u00a0(note:\u00a0<\/em>this link will only work if you are logged in to your brown.edu Google account), then click the Ocrify button on nearly any webpage to add a URL or a reference to a book or article to any of your OCRA courses.<\/p>\n On any web page containing identifiers like ISBNs, DOIs, or PubMed IDs–or any page you\u2019d like to include a link to in your OCRA class page–click the OCRA button in Chrome\u2019s toolbar.<\/p>\n If you see the item you want to add listed, click its identifier to go to OCRA.<\/p>\n OCRA describes the item it found for the identifier you selected and lists all classes you have access to. Verify that OCRA found the right item, then choose the class you want to add the item to.<\/p>\n OCRA adds the item to your class; you can edit the item here to add a due date or sequence number.<\/p>\n Note: OCRA has been phased out as the library\u2019s course reserves system. The Brown University Library has migrated to a new course reserves platform that integrates directly with Canvas and the Library\u2019s BruKnow catalog. This document is for the purpose of historical information. The library\u2019s new course reserves system can be\u00a0found here.
