Use University email

Please check your University email frequently, as this is the way we will contact you. You will receive emails about Library items you have requested and may receive reminders about loans due (for return or renewal) as a courtesy to help you manage your account.

Use your campus card to access services

Getting startedStudentsYou receive a University username and password when you register online. This gives you access to the University network, Internet, your University email account and online Library resources.

When you enrol at the University you receive a Campus Card which you use to borrow from the Library, and for evening and weekend access to some PC facilities. Use it with the separate four-digit PIN (personal identification number – emailed to you when you complete enrolment), for services such as photocopying in the Library.

If you forget your PIN just fill in the form at www.reading.ac.uk/library/pin for a reminder.

StaffMembers of staff are allocated a University username and email address on acceptance of their contract of employment. Collect these from the ITS Help counter on the 1st Floor of the Library.

Please apply for a Staff Campus card www.reading.ac.uk/campus-card. When you have this you can register with the Library. You can then borrow and access e-resources.

WelcomeThis guide introduces the friendly and professional services based in your University Library to help you make the most of your time here at Reading. Read on to find out about how the Library, IT Services and Study Advisers can help you.

Library sitesUniversity LibraryYour University Library, at the centre of the Whiteknights campus, supports teaching and research in all subjects (building number 2 on the map on page 18).

• Books and print journals are kept on the 2nd to 4th Floors (see page 11)

• Study areas throughout the Library (see page 9)

• PC facilities on the 1st Floor (see page 9)

• Borrow items on the Ground Floor (see page 6)

See our website for the e-resources we source and make available to the University www.reading.ac.uk/library/eresources

Special Collections ServiceThis service, operated jointly with the Museum of English Rural Life (MERL), gives access to extensive archive and rare book collections. Proof of identity is required to access the service; your Campus Card is ideal. The Special Collections Service is located on Redlands Road beside the London Road site.

Using the Library

Access the Library website and Enterprise catalogue, your gateway to trust- worthy academic information

Using the Library

Using the Library catalogueTo discover what the Library has, and where to find it, you need to use the Enterprise catalogue. Enterprise will give you an item’s shelf location (the Call Number) and show you if it is available for loan, or give you a link to an electronic resource. Search Enterprise on catalogue PCs in the Library or on the web at www.reading.ac.uk/enterprise-catalogue

Save yourself time – learn how to use Enterprise at a training session, or ask Library staff for help. Online help is available on our website at www.reading.ac.uk/library/enterprise

Finding more with e-resourcesTo find reliable and scholarly information on a specific topic, you can explore the Library’s electronic resources such as bibliographic databases, full-text journals and e-books. Examples include Web of Knowledge, Business Source Complete, ScienceDirect and JSTOR. To find out which ones would be useful for you, ask at an Information Desk, pick up a printed database list, or consult the subject information on the web at www.reading.ac.uk/library/subjects

It’s easy to use Self-Service Points to borrow or return for yourself

BorrowingYou can use your Campus Card to borrow from the Library. Use the Self-Service Points on the Ground Floor to borrow most items.

How many items can I borrow?

Undergraduate 15

Taught Postgraduate 20

Research Postgraduate/Staff 25

Institute of Education students 20

How long can I keep them?• Taught students can borrow

standard loan items for three weeks, research postgraduates and staff for six weeks.

• You can borrow some ‘in demand’ items for seven days.

• You can borrow journals for seven days.

• You may be asked to return an item earlier if it is required by another user (‘recalled’).

• To encourage fair stock use, borrowers are charged fines on any overdue 6-hour loans, 7-day loans, journals and recalled standard loans. Pay at two of the Library’s Self-Service Points or Ground Floor Information Desk. Check the Library website for current charges.

Returns• Return or renew items by their

due date. You can check when your loans are due for return using the ‘My Account’ option on Enterprise.

• As a courtesy, an email will usually be sent the day before loans are due to remind you to return or renew them. However, it is your responsibility to keep a record of when items are due for return.

• Return items using the Self-Service Points (or the external Book Drop when the Library is closed).

Page 7: Revised MTMO guide 2013-2014

Using the Library

Renewals• You don’t need to come to the

Library to renew most loans – just log-on to your account via the Library homepage. You can also phone, or bring the items in to renew them.

• Most items can be renewed up to five times provided no one has placed a hold on them.

HoldsHolds allow you to request an item that is on loan.

• Select ‘Place Hold’ on the book’s catalogue record.

• We’ll email you when you can collect it from the ‘Holds’ shelf in Course Collection area. Your account will also show the item as ‘available’.

Course CollectionSo that you can get hold of the most popular titles we put them in the Course Collection.

• Loanable items are issued for six hours only during the day (Monday to Friday).

• From 16:00 they can be borrowed overnight until 10:00 the next morning (or until 10:00 on Monday if borrowed after 16:00 on the previous Friday).

• You can only borrow two Course Collection items at once, but you can also book items you want for any slot over the next week.

• The Course Collection also contains some non-loan items which can only be used in Course Collection study areas.

Recharge your printing and photocopying account with our handy Top-up kiosk

Using items from other librariesThe Library might not hold all the books and articles you need. If not, then staff in Inter-Library Loans (ILL) will try to borrow it or obtain a copy. To apply:

Taught students

• Fill in an ILL form.

• Get an ILL voucher from your school/department (where vouchers are not available you will need to pay for each request).

• Students also need to ask their tutor or supervisor to sign the form.

Staff and research postgraduates

• Staff and research postgraduates make inter-library loan requests online. Please check the ILL webpage for more details: www.reading.ac.uk/library/inter-library-loans

Articles usually take only a few days to arrive and can be delivered electronically.

The SCONUL Access Schemes allow some University members to use or borrow from other university libraries. For more details see the Library website: www.reading.ac.uk/library/beyond-uor/other-libraries

Photocopying

StudentsUse your Campus Card and PIN to photocopy. This will deduct the cost from your printing account.

Recharge your account using the Top-up kiosk in the Library foyer. Alternatively, buy a top-up card from the Ground Floor Information Desk.

Copyright laws mean you may only photocopy a small part of each book or journal issue for educational research or private study. For details see notices by the photocopiers.

StaffApply for a departmental photocopy card (application forms are available from the Ground Floor Information Desk), or buy an ‘Off the glass’ card.
