Information on using the reserve collections
Documents from the reserve collections can only be used in the library. They cannot be borrowed, thus ensuring that the literature is available for everyone taking the course.
Reserve Collections Policy
-
A reserve collection has to consist of at least 5 and at most 30 documents.
- The library will normally maintain a reserve collection for one semester only. If you want to keep it in the library for a longer period, please inform the library at least one month before the start of a new semester. After 12 months you should check if the reserve collection is still up to date.
- Dictionaries and encyclopedias cannot be part of a reserve collection. They will remain on their regular locations as reference works available to all users.
- We strongly recommend you to start compiling your reserve collection sufficiently early for us to order new books and to recall titles that have been lent out (see procedure). We cannot accept late requests for reserve collections.
Procedure
- Send a list of all documents which are not yet available in the library 2 months before the date the reserve collection becomes functional to the relevant contact person. Also indicate the title of your course.
- Compile a list of all the books which are available 1 month before the date the reserve collection becomes functional. Please search the books in our library catalogue and add them to «my list».
- Send the relevant «my list» in citation format (including call numbers) to the contact person. This will contribute to a speedy processing of your submission.
