Books, eBooks and AV materials
Books to support your teaching are ordered via ReadingLists@Hull.
There is a central budget for purchasing the books, ebooks and AV materials listed on reading lists. This budget will be managed by the Library. The Library is now asking academics to add the learning resources your students require to the appropriate online module resource list. This will ensure students' needs are met, reduce the administrative burden for academics and provide a more strategic approach to the acquisition of teaching resources.
The Reading List Support guide provides a step-by-step guidance to ordering books via ReadingLists@Hull.
Digital Texts
The Library can digitise journal articles and book chapters which are heavily in demand for teaching. If you would like the library to digitise articles and book chapters this can be done via an online form. Further guidance is available via the Reading List Support guide.
Archives
For information on how to include archive materials in teaching, through workshops or the VLE, contact the archives team directly - archives@hull.ac.uk
HUA staff are able to run ‘Introduction to Archives’ sessions at the Hull History Centre. The sessions last 2 hours and include an introductory talk and a display of archival material.
The sessions explore what archives are, how they can be discovered and the challenges associated with using them for research. The sessions also aim to highlight available sources for specific areas of research, whilst the display of archival material can be tailored to the needs of a specific course.
Staff are also able to offer behind the scenes tours which aim to give students an understanding of how an archival repository works. Tours generally last an hour and can accommodate a maximum of 12 students. For further details contact archives@hull.ac.uk
It is a University requirement (ratified by ULTAC) that a copy of every exam paper is stored in Hydra, the University repository for consistency of service and as an authoritative source of such information. To view exam papers it is necessary to sign into Hydra using your University User ID and password.
