LIBRARY CATALOGUE AND READING LISTS

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Learning Outcomes:

At the end of this session students will know how to:

• Access Reading Lists

• Differentiate between the various types of reading recommended

• Navigate Stella Search

• Find Reading List material in the catalogue

• Use Advanced Search techniques

• Save and email records

• Identify which items can be borrowed to bring home and how long they can

• Locate a book on the Library shelves



WHAT ARE READING LISTS?

• These are lists of material recommended by the lecturer

• Reading lists can be included on the School website, on Blackboard or may

be distributed in class

• To support the College’s teaching and learning, the Library seeks to obtain a

copy of every Reading List and to make the items listed available to

students

• Sometimes a lecturer will make a distinction between

primary/core/required/essential/critical reading and additional reading

• Some reading lists will take a while to get used to, e.g. Law



SUBJECT LIBRARIAN CONTACTS

If students cannot locate an item in the Library listed on their

Reading List, they should contact their Subject Librarian:

http://www.tcd.ie/Library/support/subjects/index.php

…or talk to the lecturer who recommended the item

The Library is not always informed about every book that appears

on a Reading List!

collections

• Certain resources have own search facilities, listed under

“Search Collections” on the Library home page

• Stella Search works by:

• Google-type keyword searching

• Narrowing search results via “Facets”

• Using Advanced Search

• Stella Search is also a “federated search engine”:

• Linked to key full-text databases

• Permits article-level searching
