A reading list is an integral part of the student experience at University. The University Library's Reading Lists service allows the Library to work with academics in providing this information to the students in a consistent way, through their VLE (Virtual Learning Environment) where they will be accessing their teaching materials, and ensuring the Library can offer access to the required resources.

As an academic you have two options:

Option 1 – Input your own list on the online Reading Lists system

• Access your reading list via your VLE.
• Add, edit or ammend exisiting resources using instructions on our step by step guide.

Option 2 – Send your list to the library for inputting

Alternatively, you may wish to produce your reading list in a Microsoft Word document, or module handbook and email us a copy to process and make available online.

On your reading list please include:

• A full list of items featuring relevant bibliographic details.
• Items labelled using standard reading categories - essential, recommended or background.
• An indication of which citations (include chapter or page numbers) you would like scanned.
• Any relevant notes, e.g. if you are using a specific edition (otherwise we’ll opt for the most recent publication) or, if you think items should be scanned or transferred to the Short Loan Collection.
• The Library will contact you if there are any problems.

If you have any questions about Reading Lists please email the reading lists team who will be happy to help.
