Using your reading list

Your list may contain recommended textbooks along with other sources such as digital chapters, journal articles, websites and more. 

Some lists will be very long and you will need to select a few items that are of interest, others have core readings, or separate weekly readings.  Check with your lecturer if you are unclear about what is required.
