Listening to your readings - a video

We've talked about how you can actually listen to readings from your reading list before.

This time, have a look at this short video in order to learn how to do this.

Importing references from your reading list to EndNote

• Access one of your reading lists.

• Click the “Export Reference” button.

If you use the one next to a specific reference, you will export only that particular reference.
If you use the one at the very top of the page, you will export the full reading list.

• Save the file on your computer.

• Go to https://www.myendnoteweb.com/ and sign into your EndNote Web account.

• Go to “Collect” > “Import References”.

• On the next page, click on “Browse” and select the file you saved from your reading list.

• In the “Import Option” dropdown menu, select “RefMan RIS”.

• Finally, select the group you want to import your references into or select “New Group” to create a new one. Then, click on “Import”.

• If prompted, give a name to your new group.

• Repeat with your other reading lists as many times as needed.

Tutorial: how to access your reading list?

Some of my colleagues work all summer long to prepare online reading-lists based on the lists your tutors send us.
Those are full of online versions of books and journal articles, links towards websites, options to get physical documents out of the library... And all are directly related to your seminars and lectures!

The tool we use to put the reading lists online has a very clean look, but we do know that, sometimes the meaning of all the little icons can be quite unclear.
So, here is a tutorial I created, specifically to show you around the reading-list and help you discover some features you may not know.
For example, you will learn how to put books on hold directly from your list, how to organise it by themes using tags and how to browse it by book covers!
