To have a book or other item added to the High Use Collection for your course, add it to your list in Course Readings and add the tag "Move to High Use". This also applies to items that have previously been added to the High Use Collection for another course or teaching period.ÌýGet further help with Course Readings or find out specifically to the High Use Collection.

The University Library provides access to electronic textbooks for students, however the licencing conditions of each publisher often limits the number of simultaneous users.ÌýThe standard number of students who can access an electronic textbook at the same time is 1-3 users, depending on the book. If you are prescribing the use of textbooks in open book exams, please take into consideration that students will probably not be able to access the electronic library textbook all at the same time. We can investigate additional access, however this needs to be done on a case by case basis, well in advance and in accordance with the usual formula for the provision of textbooks. The Library is unable to provide copies of textbooks for each course to each student enrolled.

Copyright

The copyright regulations allow exemptions for the use of copyrighted materials in exams.ÌýThis is usually confined to text for questions or examples, not the use of whole chapters or books. ÌýPlease contact theÌýCopyright CoordinatorÌýfor information regarding your specific situation.Ìý
