The Reserve collection is located in the main foyer, Level 2 of Lake Macquarie Library.
Lecturers should place on reserve items which they anticipate will be in high student demand.

Please select items you wish to place on Reserve at the start of the semester and give them to the Loans. Desk staff for processing.
OR
Complete the online Reserve Request Form below. Materials may be placed on Reserve for one semester.

Reserve material may be used anywhere in the library during opening hours and may be borrowed at any time by the staff who have placed the items on reserve. Students need their Student ID card to borrow reserve items and the loan period is for two hours in the library or they may borrow them over night or over the weekend.

If you have borrowed a reserve item, please return it to the Loans Desk staff. Items returned outside of opening hours should be placed in the after hours return box. This is located in the entrance to the White Building next to the Library rotunda.
