![]() We’ll also send you an email, so you know to check your list for comments within Library Discussion. If we find that an item is not available online, we will let you know by using the tag “No eresource available” in the reading list system, or put a comment in the Library Discussion function. We prioritise the core reading and return to background reading later, in order to process as many core texts as possible before the start of term. We will check all items tagged “Core”, all newly added items and “OCR” items. We base purchase decisions on the number of students on a module and whether the text is core or background reading. We process lists in the order we receive them and work through them as quickly as possible. Update your reading list as early as possible throughout the year.Use Library Search to find articles and books already available online (you can limit your search to online only). Try to use existing library holdings where possible.We can digitise a single chapter of a book (or 10% of a work) without paying for additional online access Tag the reference “OCR” ( Online Course Readings). Use the “OCR” tag for digitising chapters of books.We can then direct our purchasing to the book with the best licence conditions for access. ![]() It’s also really helpful to know if any single text on the list will meet student needs, or if it doesn’t matter which one of the texts is available online. If possible, use the Library Discussion function to let us know the priority order of your required reading, eg by numbering 1–5 This approach is only affordable for a couple of key texts per module, so it helps us to focus on the most important items on the list. We have specialist suppliers for online textbooks who charge an annual subscription based on cohort size. It also speeds up our checking and helps us to prioritise spending on your list. This gives students an idea of the importance of the text to the course, and helps us to make sure that there is enough access in place. Prioritise core readings using the “Core” tag. We accept lists at any time, but lists submitted before 14 August will have material available for the start of semester one. ![]()
