The Beanland Memorial Library Special services

1. Interlibrary loans

• Interlibrary loans may be organised from other school or university libraries for students or staff by the Academic research librarian . • The return of such all loans, in good condition, is the responsibility of the borrower.

2. Class sets of texts:

• Selection of class sets of texts is the prerogative of the relevant academic staff. Library staff will process such texts, which will be stored in the library compactus. Normally, students would purchase texts for individual use but, in special circumstances [e.g. a book may be out of print or hard to acquire; a book may be use for a very short time but re-used year after year], the library will facilitate the acquisition of such texts. They will be catalogued on Oliver, processed by library staff, kept in the curriculum cupboards in the RLC, and loaned to individual students through the library system. • The cost outlaid for the purchase of such class sets will be negotiated between the Director of the Library and Information Services and the Director of the appropriate faculty. [A Director may delegate this task to a head of Department.] • Extended loans of such resources required for units or special programs will be organised with library staff so appropriate return dates can be entered into the system.

3. Sheet music:

• Selection of sheet music for the band, choral, and orchestral programs will be made by the relevant music staff. Library staff will process all music. Each part will be individually catalogued.

• All loans will all be transacted through the automated library system.

• The loan limit for music is 99.

• Students are expected to keep the music secure in a hard cover music folder and return to the library those pieces no longer required as soon as possible.

• All music must be returned by the due date before the end of the school year.

• The Director of Instrumental Music will decide upon any levy for lost material.

6. Teachers’ texts and professional reference:

• The library will purchase copies of the relevant student texts for appropriate teaching staff. These texts will have full library processing and kept in the Teaching Library, Level 1 in the RLC. • Individual texts will be loaned to individual teachers for the duration of the current school year . o If the same text is required in subsequent years, the loan should be renewed by the teacher bringing the text to the circulation desk. o Any textbook no longer required should be returned to the library for loaning to a different staff member. o Please do not simply hand over a text to another teacher; the record of the book remains with the original borrower. o Superseded texts will be handed to library staff for de-accessioning. Once removed from the catalogue, they may be gifted to individual teachers and/or kept as part of the departmental collection. • The resources in departmental collections will have full cataloguing and processing as explained in library policy documents. The spine label for each resource will include the departmental code.
