How do I find books and articles from a reading list? - What was in this section?

This section introduced reading lists: what they are, how they are organised and the sorts of references you can expect to see on there, though it will vary from course to course. It then introduced ways of searching iDiscover and how to get access to resources. It'll soon be second nature but if you are unsure about what is on your list and how to start searching for it, ask your Tutor, Director of Studies or librarians in any of the Cambridge Libraries.
The key areas we covered in this section were:
Academic resources: the peer-review process involved in publishing a book or article
Non-academic resources: how to evaluate sources for reliability and usefulness
What a reading list is and how it is structured
References: why you need them to find resources and the different elements that comprise a book or article reference
Using and understanding the limitations of the quick search, and the benefits of advanced searching
Knowing the difference between author/title and keyword searches
Knowing how to locate a book on the shelves in your library and access e-resources
Having an awareness of legal deposit ebooks, which can only be accessed at certain computers in particular libraries.
