Putting Items into Reserve, e-Reserve & 7 Day Loan


Does your unit have books, videos or journal articles that are essential or important for students to access?

If so, items can be placed on

To ensure that students have access to essential and high demand Library materials, please any of the following delivery options:

1. Bring

Bring books to the Learning Resources office on Level 2 together with the Unit Code and marked with "Reserve" or "7 Day Loan".

Bring a copy of journal articles and book chapters for inclusion into e-Reserve.  These copies must be of excellent quality, with 1 single text page to each A4 copied sheet, with clear print, minimal dark borders, and a complete bibliographic citation for each separate document. Documents that do not meet this standard cannot be utilised. All items must be accompanied by a cover sheet.

2. Send your Reading List or Unit Outline

Send in your 2nd Semester 2008 Reading lists by the closing date of Friday 23rd January, 2009.

We want you to send your list as a 'Word' file (.doc), to: reserve@library.mq.edu.au

It should be arranged by week, with annotations, as follows:

Note: If a reading list is not annotated, it will be assumed that nothing on that list will be required for Reserve, e-Reserve or 7 Day Loan.

3. Email
