The Short Loan Collection

The Collection [Policies and procedures for Short Loan Collections]

The Short Loan Collection includes items, such as recommended readings from syllabi of units, items which for a certain period of time are in-demand for class or group assignments and material to support tutorials. The Library adds items to this collection on the basis of tutorial lists received from academic staff and additionally, transfers books that are in high demand by students for assignments and projects. Access to Short Loan material is far more restricted than is access to items in general circulation.

Location

The Short Loan Collection is located on the ground floor of the Library (2nd floor) behind and near the Library Issue Desk.  Material included in the Short Loan Collection changes from time to time. In many cases as soon as a tutorial or assignment is completed, the material is placed in the standarn loan collection again. For further location details contact the Library Issue Desk
