Print Reserve Collection: A guide for Academic Staff
The Print Reserve Collection
The Print Reserve Collection is a controlled area that allows students to use the material for a limited time.
This allows a greater number of students to access the material.
Materials considered high demand or essential for students can be put in the Print Reserve Collection at the request of the lecturer. Materials can include books, DVD's/videos, CD-Roms, and bound unit readers.
Campus Reserve Staff Contacts
You can submit requests for the Print Reserve Collection via the internal mail, email or at the loans desk at each campus library.
