Reading Lists on the Catalogue

It is common practice to recommend texts to supplement what lecturers are teaching you in their classes. One of the functions of the library is to act as a repository for those texts. We hope students, as library users, will not just restrict themselves to material that appears on these reading lists, but anyway... We are currently adding to the online library catalogue the contents of these reading lists and grouping them together. To illustrate, if you were to search for “research and saunders”, one of the results would “Research methods for business students” (4th edition). If you look at the detailed record, you will see, the field “related”. Click on the image to expand it.



Each of the headings under "Related" represents a DBS course module. Thus you can see that the book appears on more than a few different reading lists. By clicking on the underlined text you can see all books on that reading list that are held by the library. Clicking on the second line, "HRM Dissertation (DUBPDM005)", will show you the all the books recommended for reading by students of that course that are held by the library. The library strives to have at least one copy of every book that appears on a reading list, but in a few instances, that simply isn't possible.



In the advanced search option, you can search specifically for reading lists by selecting "Group" in the "Fields" drop down menu, and either typing the module code or the module title.

Links to these module reading lists appear on the library website under library resources.
