It is important to assign a tag to each item you add to your reading list - please don't select a random tag or leave this option blank.
Tags are important in helping students prioritise their reading and manage their time more effectively.
Tags also relate directly to the library's Purchasing Policy, considerably influencing how the library budget is allocated and utilised. Therefore, it is important to tag the items you add to your reading list thoughtfully and carefully.
These titles are central to the learning taking place on a module and will mostly be textbooks.
The Core tag should only be used for up to three items per module and, where available, will be provided e-only under the library's e-first and accessibility principles. These include e-textbooks from Kortext or e-books on a DRM-free, unlimited access model.
The Essential tag is for other types of mandatory reading. This should be reserved for items that all students are expected to read, and not used for a strong recommendation.
The Library will purchase these titles on the best possible access model available (for more details see purchasing policy above).
The Recommended tag is for non-mandatory reading for the module.
Where available, the Library uses a PDA (Patron Driven Acquisition) e-book purchasing process for items in this category (for more details see purchasing policy above).
View our guide to e-textbook and e-book access models for more information.
To tag multiple boxes at once, select the check boxes next to the items you want to tag. A pop up box will appear at the top, Select the 'tag; option, and you will be able to apply the same tag to multiple items.
