Reading List Service
| In the context of online/blended teaching and learning in Semester 1 20/21, it is essential that all module owners inform the Library of the reading requirements of their modules prior to July 8th to allow sufficient time for licensing of online resources. It may not always be possible to obtain e-book versions, in which case you will be offered the option of digitising a portion of the print book or we will support you in identifying suitable alternatives. |
