Reading lists: help for students

This page contains video guides to help you get the most out of your module reading lists.

If you need further assistance with the reading list system or have any questions about a reading list for one of your modules, please contact library@lboro.ac.uk or your Academic Librarian.

There are two ways to access the reading lists for your modules:

1. Via the module page on Learn. In most cases, the link to the reading list can be found in the Module Information section. If you cannot see a link to the reading list, please speak to your lecturer in the first instance.
2. By accessing the homepage of the reading list system and searching for your module by code, title or keyword.
