Library Services
To add an item to a reading list, from Explore the library catalogue, the recommended method is to use the 'Talis extension' installed on your browser. This is not only the easiest way to add items, but items added from Explore are those already available in the library. Follow the instructions below or watch the video on the right panel.
On this page:
To begin with go to the Explore homepage. You may need to sign in to access some resources.
You can use the Talis extension to bookmark e-books and e-journal articles in the same way as you bookmark a print book, as illustrated above.
When you bookmark an item you will see two options: 'Create' and 'Create and Add to List'.
Use the drop-down menu to select the list you want to add the item to.
Then under 'Sections' use the drop-down menu to select in which section of your list you want the item to appear.
At this stage you can also decide if you want the item to be placed at the top or at the bottom of the chosen section.
Finally assign the 'Importance' to the item: Essential, Recommended or Optional.
You can also add information or instructions i.e. 'Read first paragrah' about the reading in the 'Note for students' box.
You can also use the Library note box to request the purchase or digitisation of an item.
If you want any changes you've made to your list to be visible to students and request that the Library order any new resources you've added, you will need to Publish your list again. Click on the Publish button, at the top or bottom right of your list.
