Adding items by searching the Library collections from within the reading list will allow you to quickly and seamlessly find the books, e-books and journal articles to add to your list at the click of a button.

Searching for an item

To add items which can be found on Library Search e.g. books, book chapters, eBooks, journal titles or journal articles, follow these steps.

1. Click on +Add and choose Search the library.

2. This will open a new pop up window, (shown below) which invites you to Search the library, with a drop down option of either Everything except articles or Everything. If you are adding a whole print or e-book use the default to Everything except articles. If you are adding individual journal articles or book chapters then change the drop down option to Everything.

3. Enter the relevant title, author or keywords to create a list of results that match with holdings in Library Search. 
4. In the results list locate your desired item. Pay attention to the publication details such as the date and any edition information to ensure that you add the correct or most up-to-date version to the list. Where there are multiple editions or versions available you may see an option link saying Additional version available. 

5. You can then click on the plus button or drag the citation to add it your list. You will also see the option to add it to a specific section of your list.

Adding an importance tag

When you add an item to the list, a pop box will appear where you can indicate to both students (and the Library) of the level of importance of that item.

Select the option that best describes the importance level of the item and click OK.
