SL means that this book is on Short Loan in the architecture and planning library. Just take the call number up to the desk and they will get the book for you. You can use it in the library for two hours at a time.

ECM (electronic course material) means that an extract from this book is available digitally through Voyager. On the Voyager main page click on the third button along the top on the screen that reads 'Course Material Search'. From there search by putting in the paper name, Design 1. Both books and electronic course material on short loan for your course will come up in the search results. Click on the title of the electronic resource to get to the title record, then click on the link within that record to see the electronic material. Not all material listed as ECM may be available right away as it takes the library some time to scan and make this material available.
