Find existing reading
An existing reading is a Reading already available within the Reading List, with all the fields filled in and creates a link to the item
It can also search our catalogue for books.
Before adding a resource you should have ascertained what you want to add and have basic identifying criteria such as Title, Author, ISBN or ISSN.
Find readings search
LOCATIONS are populated by default. ECU WorldSearch will search the ECU library catalogue.
eReserve Plus will search items within the Reading List repository (ie. items that have already been added to Reading List previously).
The DOCUMENT field is a drop down box, choose your Document type, for example, "Any book reading genre", "Any journal reading genre".
Enter your search terms : ISBN/ISSN is an excellent search criterion as it will find the exact item you are looking for.
Check ECU Worldsearch results
Once the search has been populated, you can check ECU WorldSearch items by clicking on the link to see if the item is held at ECU.
Please do not add the item if it is NOT held by ECU and email your subject librarian to have the item purchased.
