Your reading list is a carefully curated list of the most relevant resources, chosen by your tutors, to support the topics discussed in each module. Items, such as books, ebooks, journal articles, websites, videos etc are organised according to the needs of the module, and tagged according to their importance, allowing you to prioritise your reading.
Your reading list could be a comprehensive list of everything you need for that module, or a short list of the key readings. Either way, your reading list is a great way to start your research before deciding whether you need to look beyond that and conduct your own independent research.
Your tutors may select readings to introduce a topic, illustrate an approach or explore different perspectives. Read them critically: identify the argument, consider its evidence and limitations, and check how it relates to your task. The Skills Hub guides to reading critically and evaluating information can help.
How do I find my lists?
You can access your module reading list in MyLearningSpace (MLS) in several ways:
-
Select the Reading List tile on your module homepage.
-
Select Reading List from the Module Tools menu at the top of the page.
-
Open Content and select the reading list from the left-hand menu.
The options available may vary between modules. Not every module has a reading list, so if you cannot find one, check with your module tutor.
Once you've accessed a reading list through MLS, you can use My Lists to see the reading lists available for your modules.
Important: The first time you access your reading list, use the Reading List tile in MLS before opening My Lists directly, otherwise you may not be able to access your lists.
