Reading lists
Quick links:
- Reading list template
- Link to DawsonEra web site, search this for available ebooks using your Athens password
Books on reading lists are in high demand, sometimes for several modules. We try to make sure we have enough copies by monitoring use and buying more if necessary. They are available for 2-week loan, but if titles are marked 'essential', we make one copy for use in the library only.
It would also help if you could add more ebooks to your reading lists as this would provide 24/7 access for high demand titles. For 5 minute previews link to Dawsonera web site and use Athens login.
Ordering Reading List Material
- Send your reading lists as a word attachment to Readinglists@gcu.ac.uk. You can use the Reading list template for this. Please submit your lists well in advance of the new trimester to ensure that your material is available for the start of term. Please submit your reading lists even if there are no changes. This will confirm your reading lists are still active.

- Module name and code
- Name of module leader
- Campus: Glasgow/London/Both
- School/Department
- Trimester: 1/2/3/All
- Number of students
