Reading lists for staff

Search for your reading lists

Online reading lists allow academics to guide students to relevant material to support their studies. We use the Talis Aspire software to manage reading lists. This provides comprehensive reading lists with direct links to the library catalogue which has significantly improved library services to students.

Benefits

The key benefits are:

• the ability to save resources in one place from a variety of sources, including library catalogues, external websites, journal articles and multimedia
• the provision of samples of structured lists for ease of use
• a visually appealing student interface, with real-time indication of library availability and direct links to online texts and to bookseller sites
• library staff receive automatic alerts to list amendments to facilitate resource acquisition
