LIBRARY CATALOGUE AND READING LISTS
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!
