Both are part of the Short Loan Section.
- Library materials in these collections can only be loaned out for a short period.
- They can be used inside the library during the day, overnight or over the weekend.
- If these materials are borrowed overnight or over the weekend, they must be returned an hour after the Library opens in the morning; otherwise, a hefty fee will be charged, and you may be blocked from using the overnight / over weekend service for an extended period.
- Short loans consist of the eReserves, the Reserved and the Prescribed Collection.
- eReserves and Reserved Collection
- eReserves are the additional reading materials/items prescribed by a lecturer for specific modules, to gain a better understanding of a specific course. Check your tutorial guidelines, or contact your lecturer for information about where your assigned course readings are located.
- eReserves can be accessed online or in person at the relevant campus library's Reserved Collection.
- Prescribed Collection
- Prescribed books are selected and approved by the lecturers responsible for a course or module as compulsory reading for students. This collection is usually situated next to the reserved collection and is made available in the same manner as reserved physical items.
