Reading lists at Hull support: Ask the Library to create your list

The Library can help you to set up and/or add resources to a list. We are a small team and need to schedule the work so please follow the guidance and refer to the calendar below for deadlines.

Ask the Library to


...create your reading list structure

or

...create your reading list structure and add resources

If you would like the Library to help with either of these tasks, please download and complete this Word template,

 Reading Lists at Hull template (Word). Please include the module code in the file name when you save a copy, and email your version to bjlcollections@hull.ac.uk

The structure of a reading list should reflect the way the module is taught, and set clear expectations for your students. See our guide to list structure and why it matters at Structuring reading lists.


...add resources to an existing list

You can also ask the Library to add resources to an existing list. Email bjlcollections@hull.ac.uk Include all of the following:

  • Module code and name
  • Title(s) of resource(s) to you want the Library to add
  • Reading priority tag for each item
  • List section/ location for each item

 

N.B. You must specify the reading priorities for books/ eBooks; chapters; journal articles; and motion pictures.

The priorities align to the University's Knowledge management competence and are defined on the Reading priority page of this guide.


...create a programme-level list template

Are you developing a new course and want to pool resource ideas with your colleagues?

Email bjlcollections@hull.ac.uk to request that the list outline be created, and include:

  • programme name and code
  • the names of staff who need editing permissions

 

Please note that the Library will not add resources to these lists except to update links once ordered items are received.

Alternatively, requests for new books, eBooks, AV items to support programme development can be submitted via the book order form in ServiceNow. If new subscriptions, such as journals and research databases, are needed to support a new or revised programme, please complete a New resources request form.


...create or populate a list for a course that does not have a SITS code

Your needs will vary depending whether the list is for a short course, staff development, support network, knowledge exchange activities, etc. The Library is happy to discuss this.

In the first instance, email bjlcollections@hull.ac.uk outlining the purpose of the list, the number of resources it will potentially include, and when it is needed, and we will get in touch.

Please bear in mind that our priority is to support reading lists for taught modules, and that we may not always be able to support the University's wider activities.
