Adding resources

Adding items

When adding items to lists please make use of the Library's extensive collection of book titles, electronic journal titles and articles, and other formats of materials rather than requesting new resources. 

To add resources which are already in stock in the Library use the Discovery search tool to find books (print and electronic), journal articles and conference papers. Sign in to Discovery to view full availability of resources.

The short video below shows how to add books and journal articles on to your reading list using Discovery.

Written instructions of how to add different items on to your reading list are below.  

If an article/paper is not available via the library's subscriptions or open access please see the Scanning for Teaching page as it may be possible to supply a copyright cleared version.  It may also be possible to use the Scanning for Teaching service to digitise a chapter from a book (or up to 10% of the book) which isn't available in ebook format.

Use the Subject Guides to find journal titles and databases that are relevant for your modules.  If the journal or database you want to add is not available via the Library please contact your Academic Librarian
