eReserve and Closed Reserve are services that facilitate student access to course reading materials.
eReserve:
A central repository for storing scanned documents to support teaching and learning. The service makes reading material available to students whilst helping the University meet its obligations under the Copyright Act 1968 (C'th). eReserve should be used for important readings that are either not available electronically from the Library or are only available in print. If you scan or save copyrighted material, you must use eReserve to make it available in Blackboard.
Closed Reserve:
A restricted access collection in each campus Library for high demand books, as nominated by the Course Coordinator. Books can be borrowed for up to 2 hours. Overnight loan is available 2 hours before closing time - books must be returned within the first hour of opening on the following day.
Only Academic Staff can request items be added to Closed Reserve or eReserve. If students notify us of a text they think should be in Closed Reserve, we will contact the relevant Course Coordinator about submitting a request.
Before submitting a request, check if the document is already available via FiNDit or the eReserve repository.
