You have a list of readings. But how do you interpret the citations?
Information on a reading list will follow a general referencing format.
This includes information about the author, date of publication, title, publisher and place of publication.
Book Reference
Sometimes you will be given a reference to a particular chapter in a book.
Book Chapter Reference
To look up a book chapter on the library catalogue, search for the title of the book, not the title of the chapter.
You may also have references to Journal articles.
Journal Article Reference
To find whether an article is available in the Serials collection, search for the title of the journal, not the title of the article.
