Course Reserves

Course Reserves are reading material listed in the course outline with the more heavily used items placed behind the Library Counter for short term loan. They are mainly two types of course reserves, (a) required reading materials, and (b) supplementary reading material. If a book falls under the "Course Reserve at Counter" collection, the book is placed behind the Library Counter and you will need to ask Library staff to retrieve it.
