Academic Skills Team: A guide for staff

Our Reading Lists Online system provides one-click access to core module reading. Links can be made to full-text electronic journal articles, ebooks and plus live book holdings information from our library catalogue.  Reading lists are in a web format that can be viewed on a range of devices, including mobile, and each list has a unique web link that can be embedded within Blackboard, MS Teams or other websites or documents.

All modules need to have an up-to-date online reading list of resources for their students.  All requests for new book purchases to support teaching must be made from the reading list linked to the relevant module.

For more information about online reading lists visit our Reading Lists Online training guide.

As part of the new Reading Lists Online system we are streamlining the procedures for new book requests and digitisation (Course Pack) requests.  

Both of these requests can now be made within the Reading Lists Online system

Please refer to the Ordering Books and Journals page for information about how to do this and guidance on what will be purchased.  We take a digital first approach.

If you have any questions, you can contact the Library team via e-mail at readinglists@staffs.ac.uk.
