  • P Store is the location of periodicals relocated from the open access shelves to Store.

  • S, X, F and Y Store is the location for closed access monographs.

S,X , F and Y Store Procedures

  • Clients with a current JCU borrowing card can request items from Store area via the library catalogue (Tropicat) using the request item function.

  • Clients will be emailed when their request is available for loan.

  • Requests are available from the self service hold shelf (Townsville) and from the Library Services Desk (Cairns).

  • Loans are processed via the autoloans units or via assistance from lending services staff.

  • Store books will be sent to the Cairns Campus Library through the Intercampus Service.

  • Off campus clients can request a store item by sending a request to the Off Campus Service via Tropicat . The item will be borrowed out to the client and sent to their posting address.

P Store Procedures

  • Clients requesting items from the P Store need to complete a Document Copy Request Form .

  • Clients collect the items from the Lending services Desk (Townsville) and from the Library Services Desk (Cairns)

  • Items in the P Store are "Use in Library Only" materials

Items in a fragile condition that can withstand transportation to Cairns will be for "Use in Library Only" on a 2 hour loan.

Items that are too fragile to be used outside the library building will not be sent to the Cairns campus. Consideration would then be made on whether scanning part of the item for the client is a suitable option.
