My textbook's status is "Course Materials" and type is "Short Loan.'' What does that mean?
Answer
If the catalogue says that your textbook is a "Course Material" and a "Short Loan", it means it is part of the Library's Textbook Initiative and can be found in the corresponding library's Course Materials collection. Books in the Course Materials collections can only be borrowed for 2 hours at a time.
Some library locations have a separate room with Course Materials organized by call number, while other locations keep their course materials behind the Service Desk. Ask at the Library Service Desk for help locating where the course materials are at each location.
