The Short Loan Collection includes items (books, videos, dvds etc) which are Textbooks and Recommended books or are in high demand.  These items can be borrowed for either 3 hours or 7 days.

• The Library will purchase and/or move items on your Reading List to the Short Loan collection after a Unit Reading List Form has been submitted.  The Unit Reading List form will guide you through the process of nominating material for either 3hour or 7day loan 

• Your cooperation in ensuring this information reaches the Library as least 4 weeks before semester begins will help ensure the resources are available for your students. 
• A new Unit Reading List form needs to be submitted each semester as material is removed from the Short Loan Collection annually

Multiple copies

The number of copies of required texts purchased for the Short Loan Collection will be determined by the number of students enrolled –

Reading Bricks

• If you would like to make a copy of a Reading Brick available for use in the Library, you can supply a copy via the Information and Loans Desk and we will make it available in the Short Loan Collection

Private Copies

• If the Library does not hold a copy of an item your students need and we are unable to buy it, you can provide your private copy via the Information and Loans Desk and we will make it available in the Short Loan Collection. 

Reading Bricks or Private Copy material provided by you will be returned at the end of each semester, or earlier if the Library has been able to purchase a copy for the collection
