Course reserves are materials set aside for a specific academic course. Lecturers bring course reserves to the library for student use. Materials include books, book chapters and journal articles
Placing materials on Short Loans
- An academic staff member should complete a Library Material on Short Loan Form. Faculty Librarian should not complete the form for the academic staff member.
- All photocopies (e.g. articles or chapters of a book), placed in the Short Loan Collection must have a copyright clearance form attached.
- All articles, chapters of a book and class notes are only accepted in a file or binder and not in loose-leaf format.
- All Short Loan items should be presented to the Faculty Librarian at least 7 days before patrons require them.
- No items will be kept in the Short Loan collection for longer than one year. All Short Loan items with an expiry date of November/December will be removed from the Short Loan Collection on a working day closest to 30 November each year. Lecturers will be informed of the removal of the items and they have to re-apply for item(s) to be put in the Short Loan Collection. It is the responsibility of the Lecturer to ensure that Supplementary Examinations are being catered for.
- Only a Private Copy in a good condition should be accepted for the Short Loan collection if an item is not available in the CUT LIS collections.
