Last week for delivery/return of library materials

Reminder: The van that delivers library materials between Peterborough and Oshawa stops once classes are completed - no delivery of library items after Thursday, Dec. 17th! Regular service will resume when classes start on Jan. 11th, 2010.

Once the van stops running, any items returned to the Oshawa campus library will remain in Oshawa until Jan. 11th. All items will remain signed out on your account until they are received in Peterborough. Once returned at Bata library, the items will be backdated to the date you returned them in Oshawa and fines will be adjusted accordingly.

If you have any questions, please contact Trish or Jacquie.

Looking for Reserves?

Remember - if you are looking for reserve items for an Oshawa course, use the E-Res system. Don't use the reserves system found in TOPCAT, as that contains items for Peterborough courses only.

To access E-Res, start at the library webpage and select the 'Trent in Oshawa' link listed under the Quick Links section. Select the E-Res option - you will need to login via the library 0ff-campus server (same login as you use for your Trent email or webct). Once in the E-Res system, search for your course code, professor's name or course name to find your desired course.

If the item is in electronic format or both electronic & paper, you will be asked for a course password. Your professor should have given this password out in class (you can also ask staff at the reference desk for assistance).
