Course Reading Lists in Moodle service
The Library and Information Service is converting all lists of short loan material to Course Reading Lists in Moodle, easily accessible to your students. Course Reading Lists enable you to build and manage your reading lists directly from within Moodle. Use Course Reading Lists to quickly and easily add diverse resource types, including the Library's print and electronic material, as well as class notes and resources from the web to your lists. Help the Library to convert the lists of short loan material to Course Reading Lists in Moodle by following these steps.

Short Loan service
The main aim of the short loan service is to provide access to frequently used material for short periods to ensure that it is accessible to a large number of clients.
Recommended material for reservation
- Only recommended reading material may be reserved.
- Due to the need to limit the size of the division it is proposed that the “7 DAY LOAN" or “24 HOUR LOAN" facility be used instead.
- Books may only be reserved for a specific course programme.
- The short loan sections are not responsible for the replacement of stolen or lost short loan material
How to reserve material
- Lecturing staff, or their assistants, provide all short loan material to the Short Loan Section.
- All books should be accompanied by a completed reservation form.
- Printed reservation forms are also available at the Short Loan Sections of the Stellenbosch University Library and the respective branch libraries.
- Completed forms and material must be supplied to the Short Loan Section TWO DAYS prior to allow sufficient time for the processing of the material.
