Reading list system
An effective and considered reading list can help students to manage their reading more effectively and enables them to locate and access resources more easily. Reading lists are also used by the Library to inform purchasing decisions and a well maintained and structured reading list can help to ensure that sufficient quantities of recommended materials are obtained and made available in the most appropriate formats. A good reading list should enhance the student experience and, by engaging students with their reading, can lead to improved satisfaction rates
