ResourceLists@Bham is the University’s reading list system, making access to the resources you need for your modules much easier. This guide shows you how to make the most of your lists. It also shows you how to expand your information finding skills and widen your reading for when you need to do your own research. Use the index on the right to find your way around all the aspects of managing and staying on top of your reading.
