Finding readings for your course

Many of your modules will have a reading list to help you find out more about your subject. Typically you will find your reading lists on your module Moodle page. Where lists have been made available through the Library's online reading list system, Leganto, you will find direct links to recommended books, (both print and electronic) articles and other resources.

Look for the blue book icon on your module's Moodle page. 

Alternatively you can access Leganto directly and use the search function to find lists for your course. Remember to login using your Lancaster username and password to gain access to the lists!
