Emerald Reading ListAssist

Here's an interesting new service from Emerald.  Reading ListAssist draws together articles from Emerald's journal and book content in over 50 subject-specific reading lists.  I doubt many of you are interested in the engineering reading lists, but you may find some interesting articles in the Business, Management & Economics, Library & Information Science and Social Sciences themed reading lists.  They all have been created by teachers and students for teachers and students, so should be relevant good quality material. 
Each list is presented as an Excel spreadsheet and for most there's an accompanying PDF editorial.  Each list also comes with an abstract giving a brief overview of content and coverage.
There's a caveat, and that caveat is that access to articles within the reading lists will be subject to whether we subscribe to that journal or not.  For DBS, that basically means that if the article is from Emerald Backfiles you won't see it, but you should see most of the non-Backfile material.  Have a look anyway and see what you think.
