How to find books

Finding material on the shelves

Previous Next

Each item has separate location details for each site that holds a copy of it. It will also note which copies are shelved on Reserve.

To tell if there are any copies of an item available you need to compare the number of copies listed as being held, with the number currently out on loan or on hold. In this case, there are twenty copies at this site, with one copy (no.16) on Reserve. This copy is not listed as being out on loan. Therefore, there should be one copy available in Reserve, and 12 other copies on the shelves.

You should take note of all the location information to find an item.
