Reading list support for academic staff

Find, create and publish your reading lists

The reading list service is your way of ordering books, e-books, DVDs and other resources for your students for teaching purposes.

You can fully personalise and design your reading list to suit your students’ needs by using sections to break up the reading into weeks or topics, and by including notes. You can also create your structure to match your Moodle module.
