Confusion over Reference Only Interloans in the Central Library

These are still held behind the Lending Desk.

They will not appear on the Requester’s Library Record – nor will a Hold Notification appear.

Interloaned theses are different to Theses from the University of Canterbury Library storage collection of master copies – except in very rare cirmcunstances ref. only theses on interloan are NOT required to be consulted in a supervised reading room. If those restrictions have been imposed by the supplying library then the Interloans Team will have communicated that to the requester and they should go straight to Level 3 and not to the Lending Desk. In case requester’s get confused, and to make things clear for desk staff, Interloans staff will have put a marker on the Hold Shelf with requester, item and location information for lending staff.

So – please always check the Reference Only shelf for any user coming to the desk to collect their interloan – regardless of whether a Hold Notification appears or not. No Hold Notification will appear for copies that are being collected also – these will be on the Reference Only shelf waiting to be collected. Thanks Janice jff23
