Reserve and e-Reserve for Academic Staff

Closing date for Reserve, e-Reserve & 7 Day Loan items Session 1, 2012: MONDAY, 23RD JANUARY, 2012

Reading lists received after this date may not be processed by the beginning of the Session.

Remember, essential items can be placed on:

  • Reserve (3 hour loan area of the Library for essential and high demand items)
  • e-Reserve (This is the University's designated repository for online journal articles and book chapters. e-Reserve also provides access to past exam papers, and, optionally, reading lists, unit outlines, lecture & tutorial materials, if required.)
  • 7 Day Loan (Important or recommended items that need a restricted borrowing period.  7 Day Loan items can be found on the main library shelves)

Reading Lists

Email your list or unit outline as a 'Word' file (.doc or .docx) to: lib.reserve@mq.edu.au

Lists should show correct bibliographical information and be arranged in week order with annotations as follows:

  • Essential material to be placed in Reserve or e-Reserve - annotate with double asterisks (**)
  • Important material to be placed on 7 Day Loan - annotate with a single asterisk (*)

If a reading list is not annotated, we assume that nothing is required for Reserve, e-Reserve or 7 Day Loan.

Unit Notes, Lecture and Tutorial Materials etc.

Email to lib.reserve@mq.edu.au. We accept html, Word (.doc, .docx), Powerpoint (.ppt, .pptx) and Excel (.xls, .xlsx) formats. All files are converted to .pdf.

Journal articles and book chapters - faster processing

Provide a copy yourself for faster processing. Copies must be of excellent quality:

  • 1 single page of text to each A4 copied sheet
  • Clear print
  • Minimal (preferably no) dark borders
  • A complete bibliographic citation for each document

Documents that do not meet this standard cannot be utilised.

We also require your name, contact details and Unit Code. Please print and fill in the relevant sections of the Reserve & e-Reserve Cover Sheet (pdf 64kb) and provide this with any hard copies of readings.
