Use our eReserve and Reserve services when essential readings are only available in print.
Scanned readings from print resources are stored in the library's eReserve collection and supplied to students in subjects' Reading and Resources lists (Leganto).
The library's eReserve team process requests and produce copyright or license compliant readings for learning and teaching. It also manages copyright limits for print-only resources across the whole University.
You must use the eReserve service to put any print-only works online unless you have the written permission from the copyright owner. Scanned readings from print resources will be supplied in a Leganto reading list.
Contact your Faculty Librarian to see if your subject has a Leganto list.
Create a new Leganto reading list and "Applying tags" process as described below to add readings
If you need a new reading added to your Leganto reading list, please use the 'Add tags to item' function under the individual reading in Leganto, and Library staff will fill your request:
| Tag Name | Tag use |
|---|---|
| eReserve Digitisation | Use when you require an eReserve scan of a chapter/article for your Leganto list by providing full citation details. This provision relies on section 113P of the Copyright Act 1968 (Act). |
| Physical reserve required | Use to place the item into Physical reserve at the nominated Campus. |
| Remove-no longer required | Use when a reading is no longer required. The library will remove the scanned PDF from the digital repository. |
| Purchase suggestion | Use when you want Acquisitions to consider buying the item for the library collection. |
Items in Reserve collections allow for high turnover with short 2-hour loans. This is useful for high-demand physical items, such as non-electronic texts and audiovisual materials.
The items are placed in Reserve at the relevant campus libraries and returned to the normal collection after the sessions nominated.
