The Reserve Collection provides short term access to high demand material, such as textbooks and recommended readings.

There are two types of Reserve material:

• Items issued for 2 hours.
• Items issued for 3-Days. These items are inter-shelved in the main collection.

How to Borrow 2-hour Reserve Collection items

1. Locate the item on the library's online catalogue (otago.lconz.ac.nz). Choose Course Reserve (the Course and Library search options are recommended). This will limit results to the Reserve Collection only.
2. Check that there is a copy of the item not currently in use.
3. Locate the item on the Reserve shelves.
4. Take the item to the Lending Desk along with your student ID card.
