Reading Lists

Via Moodle

Reading lists are composed by your lecturers.  The lists will include the books, journal articles, websites, podcasts, programmes etc. that your lecturer wants you to read or watch. Your lecturer may also indicate blended learning that should be completed before the next lecture.  These can be online materials that you can sign in to access.  If they are print materials available in the library, the list will link you through to the library catalogue.

There should be a reading list attached to each of your modules.  It will usually appear on the right of your module.

Click on the link to access your list.

Alternatively, you can go straight to the Reading Lists database here 

From here you can search for a module name, a module code, a keyword, or an academic.
