Library Learning Services are now accepting reading lists for the 2015/16 academic year.
If you have a reading list that you would like to see transformed into an interactive resource list at resourcelists.ed.ac.uk we can do this for you!
While creating your list, we also provide you with a summary of the items on your list, books, journals and articles, with information on how many are held and at what locations. This means you can see in advance where additional materials might need to be ordered or moved into reserved/short loan sections of the library.
If you would like to send us your reading list there are a few important pieces of information that will help us provide you with the best possible service:

Interested in creating your own list?
We have created a detailed User Guide: Resource Lists using Talis Aspire (PDF) to help you get started and a series of Shorter Guides that focus in on; specific tasks within Resource Lists, functions available within Resource Lists, tips, tricks, and handy information.
