When you first start a new unit, make sure to have a look at your Learnline and see if there is a Reading List attached to the unit.
It should be available on the left-hand menu (BB Original)
OR within your unit content (BB Ultra)
Lecturers can use reading lists to organize and link resources and readings, to direct you to resources they think would be useful and relevant to your areas of study.
