Reading List Service

In the context of online/blended teaching and learning in Semester 1 20/21, it is essential that all module owners inform the Library of the reading requirements of their modules prior to July 8th to allow sufficient time for licensing of online resources.  It may not always be possible to obtain e-book versions, in which case you will be offered the option of digitising a portion of the print book or we will support you in identifying suitable alternatives.

 

Why Use the Reading List Service

The Library's reading list support service integrates:

  • Reading Lists
  • Blackboard (with integrated off campus access to resources)
  • Library database and fulltext resources
  • Library acquisition of e-books / print books & chapter scanning 

View our Reading List Brochure / Seirbhís Liosta Léitheoireachta.

Search our reading list service  for reading list examples e.g. TLC 1OO Academic Skills. Training guides and video tutorials are provided below.
