Add resources to your list

Your reading list can include links to items such as print books, book chapters, e-books, print and e-journal articles, audio-visual material, websites, and documents.

Add items the Library holds (including e-books, books and journal articles) to your Reading List from within Library search.

Add a book/e-book

  1. Search for the book title using Library Search
  2. Select the Bookmarking Extension in your browser
  3. You will see a Bookmark to reading list link added under each title
  4. Select the Bookmark to reading list link under the title you wish to add to your list
  5. To add the book to your Reading list directly, Select Create & Add, choose the list, the section, and the place you wish to add the title within the list to add it to your list, or select Create to add to your bookmarks and add to your list later

When adding e-books, selecting the Title or Full Text Online will take you to the e-book page directly but bookmarking from this page will not add the correct link to your bookmarked item and this will cause access issues. Always select the Bookmarking Extension in your browser and click Bookmark to reading list under the title you wish to add to your list from the Library search results.

If you wish to add books/e-books you have already bookmarked to your list you can use the Add Resource feature.

Choose Add Resource and you will see a list of your bookmarked titles (newest first), under My Bookmarks. You can choose show more or search for the title in the search box then select the title to add to your list.

We do not recommend searching for books/e-books using this feature as it is still under development and may not show titles already in the Library stock. Please use Library search instead.

Box of Broadcasts

When looking to link to a video/radio programme it is worth checking to see if the programme is available via Box of Broadcasts (BoB), as this will ensure that there will be no removal of a link or issues over copyright. Search in BoB for the radio or TV programme you wish to add to your list.

Select the bookmark extension button to add the video to your reading list.

BFI Player

You can also search the BFI Player for films. Please register first, login and then search in the Subscriptions tab for a movie. If available, select the bookmark extension button to add the movie to your reading list.
