The Library uses a reading list system called Aspire. This new, improved system gives you access to recommended resources, together with guidance notes from your lecturers. You can then check availability in the Library. Aspire also enables you to make private study notes for individual items as you work.

Aspire integrates with StudyDirect. You should find a link at the bottom of your course site, providing direct access to your reading list.

Within your reading lists, you should usually expect to see the following:

  • Core reading: available for purchase or included in course packs or online (eBook, digitised text, online journal). Single copy held in Library core collection.
  • Recommended reading: available in the Library in multiple copies or available online (eBook, digitised text, online journal).
  • Further reading: single copy held in the Library's main collection
