Staff Information

What is Closed Reserve?

The library offers the Closed Reserve service for high demand DVD’s and books to all teaching staff.

Closed Reserve allows a teaching staff member to select items from the library collection and to set borrowing time limits and certain borrower restrictions on them.

This means that a lecturer can ensure that a greater number of students gain access to certain items during a short time period. You can specify a set time limit, such as 3 hours (not to leave the library), overnight, 2 days or another specified time period.
