High Demand Collection

Introduction

The High Demand Collection option in the catalogue allows you to access resources that your lecturer has placed on high demand in the library. Some of these resources are articles or chapters from books which can be accessed electronically and downloaded. Other resources such as books have a shorter loan period, usually 4 day or 4 hour

Searching the High Demand Collection

You can use one or more of the search options on this screen to construct your search. The options are Lecturer, Campus, or Course

Within each option use the drop down menu to find your terms. Hint: type the first letter to quickly navigate down the list eg. using the Lecturer option enter 's' to get close to Smith

You can only select one option within each drop down menu

  • Lecturer: a lecturer's name will only appear in the drop down menu if they have items in the High Demand Collection
  • Campus: The eR:eReaders option displays chapters or articles from readers which can be accessed electronically
  • Course: a course code will only appear in the drop down menu if there are items in the High Demand Collection for that course

Hint: to find your Course Code see UniSAnet (note that linking from here will automatically open a new web browser window)
