The Electronic Reserve collection (e-reserve) makes available to students articles or book chapters recommended by lecturers as essential to learning needs (subject to copyright restrictions). Material in E-Reserve is not made available in print form. Where possible, it also makes available material contained in reading bricks. A link to this material is also available via the Wattle course sites.
Copies of high demand books are made available via the Short Loan Collection. These collections are located in the Chifley, Hancock, Menzies, Art, Law and Music Libraries. Items in these collections can be borrowed for two hours or two days, depending on the lecturer's recommendations.
Two hour loan Reserve material is available to ANU staff and ANU students only at the circulation desks of Chifley, Hancock, Menzies and Law Libraries. You can borrow some 2-hour material overnight if there are less than two hours before building closure. You must return them the next day at re-opening time. Lecture tapes, lecture notes and private copies are excluded from overnight borrowing. External borrowers are not permitted to borrow this material.
Two day loan material is on the public shelves in Chifley, Hancock, Menzies and Law interfiled with normal material. Two day material has 2 DAY LOAN in red lettering.
