Using the library collections
The best way for you to find items in the library is to search the catalogue.
Check the item’s availability, and note the location and classification number before searching the shelves.
As a general rule, you will find items belonging to one of the following collections:
General
This collection contains most of the library’s items which are available for loan.
Reference
Reference items are excellent information sources, especially if you need an overview of a subject. These items are not for loan and you will find them mixed in with the General collection.
All Reference items have a red ‘R’ sticker on the spine.
Reserve – Library Use Only
Prescribed textbooks for each course can be found in the Reserve collection. These items can only be used in the library and need to be available for all students to access.
Reserve – 7 Day Loan
You can find this collection near the Reserve-Library Use Only items. For fair access, these high demand items must be returned by the due date and cannot be renewed.
Q (Quarto) Large Books
The Quarto collection contains large books shelved separately from the General collection. Quarto items can be borrowed with the same loan period as General collection items.
Compactus
The Compactus is located near the library printer and contains extra resources which you can borrow.
