If you require your students to read a book the Library does not have in stock, you can add it to a list on Reading Lists (Leganto) and it will be ordered for you.

How do we know how many copies you will need?

Each item listed on Reading Lists should have a tag assigned to it: this tag decides the importance of the item and allows the Library to apply a pre-determined book/student ratio.

• Essential - very important to the course; all students will need to use these texts.
• Recommended - supplementary texts which students are encourages to use.
• Background - additional texts which are suggested for background subject area reading.

We have stock to student ratios for each Faculty and will use these in conjunction with the number of students registered on the module to order a baseline number of print copies or licences if it in ebook format.
