2.  Benefits of the new system
 Navigating to Ares
 Creating an account
 Adding reserve items
 Advanced features

3.  Unlike the old reserve system, everyone who would
like to access the reserves needs to create an account.
By having the students create accounts, instructors
can check the usage of a particular item and see at the
student level who is using particular materials.
 Professors now have the option of uploading materials
directly to the system, which should greatly decrease
the processing time.
 Allows proxy users (such as a teaching assistant) to
manage class accounts.
 Provides space for chats and message boards.
