Access will be via the Library s Database Services page. Since 1996, the National Library of Australia has been routinely selecting Australian publications on the Internet for long term preservation. The bulk items placed in the collection are texts and recommended readings for all of the units being offered each semester. Information regarding texts and recommended readings is taken from the Unit Specification. As a rule, texts are placed on a 3 hour loan, and recommended readings are on a 24 hour loan.
Academic staff can ask to place in high demand library material at any time.
Staff can choose to keep items in the Reserve Collection for the entire semester or for limited periods when items will be in demand. Academic staff can also place any of their own material in the Reserve Collection. This material includes books, lecture notes, tutorial and prac notes, study package material, photocopies of readings, and videos and audiocassettes. It is the responsibility of Academic staff to ensure that any photocopied material they wish to place in the Reserve Collection complies with the University s Print and Graphic Copying - Record Keeping Guidelines. Firstly, it is essential that you have organised a library card in order to place material on Reserve.
