How to decipher and use your reading list

Reading lists and the library catalogue

Library staff provide students with easy, direct access to items on course or unit reading lists. We create a web page from the course or reading list supplied by lecturers and hyperlink to the items or to more information about the item. For journal articles and book chapters the links go to either a library database or to a version photocopied and digitised by the library. Links to books held by the library go to the library catalogue record and from there you can check item availability.

Search for reading lists in the library catalogue using either the Reading Lists button or choose the Reading Lists tab within the catalogue search screens. Search for your course or unit list using this pattern: abc1234 (ie no spaces).
