Reading Lists
Guide for Students
The online reading lists will help you find the books, journal articles and other resources required for your module.
Our reading lists:
- are accessible from CampusMoodle
- provide direct access to online resources
- show how many print copies we have and where to find them
Finding Your List
Through Your Module on Moodle
You can access a module’s reading list straight from the module page on Moodle, simply look for the Reading List link.
If the link does not go directly to a list or there is no link available, there may not be an online reading list for this module - check with your module coordinator to be sure.
By Searching
If you are on the reading lists homepage, you can search by module name or module number. If a list exists, it will appear in the results list.
Signing in
Being signed in means you will be able to bypass the individual log-in process when you access electronic resources!
If you accessed the reading list through CampusMoodle, you will already be logged in. If not, click on Guest, then LogIn, and then use your RGU username and password to login. Once logged in you can search for your module's reading list and access resources.
Main Features
Your main reading list will include some core information about each item on the list such as title, author, date, and item type. It will also indicate if the item is available online or is a print item held in the library.
You may see additional information provided by your lecturer, telling you if the item is essential, recommended, optional or suggested for purchase, and notes that give you information about the list.
Click the item's title to find out more information about it. You will see links to the item (if online) or details about library availability (if a print book). You'll have to be logged in to see the latter.
The list may have different sections. You can toggle this view and open the relevant section to see the items listed.
