Course Reserve Information for Staff

Each semester the Library aims to make available the important resources for each subject, as requested by academic staff.

We will:

• Acquire copies of the prescribed text, and other books,dvds,etc. if we don't have them
• Make sure there is at least one copy of prescribed/essential items available in the Library's Reserve section for 3 hour loan
• Provide links to online readings* that can be placed in iLearn sites

At the end of every semester all reserve materials are removed. This is to comply with copyright restrictions, and to make sure that these materials are up to date from semester to semester. This means that staff members need to submit their requests before each new semester, even if the materials haven't changed.

Requests can be submitted via this form (staff members only). If you already have a list in a word or pdf document you can just attach it to the form. Alternatively you can email your request to ereserve@staff.bond.edu.au (please remember to include the subject code and subject name).

* Online readings might be journal articles, book chapters, or pdf versions of reports or other copyrighted documents. If the reading is freely accessible on the web you can just put the URL into iLearn, but if you're unsure feel free to contact me. The links we provide will be persistent and managed for copyright compliance.

New Database: JSTOR Arts & Sciences VII

Bond Library has subscribed to the Arts & Sciences VII database in JSTOR. That means you can access more information than ever before on JSTOR.

We know lots of students love JSTOR and we love it to because it covers a range of subject areas. As JSTOR approrpiately puts it as containing an "eclectic range of disciplines", including:

• History
• Political Science
• Sociology
• Art and Art History
• Language and Literature
• Health Policy

There's over 183 titles in 35 disciplines which makes up over 4,200,00 pages of documents. Just remember that JSTOR is an archival database, which means it doesn't contain publications from 2012, but from previous years.

To find JSOTR Arts & Sciences on the Library Website go to the Electronic Resources page an find it in the A to Z list.
