WISER: Reading lists
Providing online reading lists is an easy
and quick way to help your students
locate material in Oxford libraries. This
session outlines the process of doing this.
We will also explore user-friendly Web 2.0
applications, which give you the
opportunity to create reading lists that
are more interactive and encourage
discussion.
Judy Reading and Eric Howard
Good practice
• Make sure what you recommend is
available
• Consider options for multiple access eg
coursepacks, referencing single articles or
chapters or short loan library loans
• Make sure the references are correct
• Consider letting the students look for
themselves sometimes
• Let the Library know in good time
Interactive reading lists
• Links to locations eg Library holdings
in Oxford for books and journal
articles
• Using web 2.0 tools to publish and to
encourage discussion around
reading lists
You can link to anything
with a web address – but
make sure it is a permanent
one

•
Journal articles
Journal issues and titles
Full-text resources
Web resources
Pictures
Archives
The key to linking is your url:
uniform resource location
• Education lists
• Film studies
European cinema list in
Weblearn
To link to an Oxford Library
location you can choose:
• To insert a hyperlink in a bit of text in your
list eg “Locate”
• Hyperlink each reference eg
Falk, Joyce Duncan., Searching America : History and life (AHL)
and Historical abstracts (HA) on DIALOG / Joyce Duncan Falk
and Susan K. Kinnell (Santa Barbara, Calif ; Oxford : ABC-CLIO,
c1987)
The OLIS web OPAC, providing a detailed view of the OLIS
catalogue and patron functions such as reserving books, can be
found at http://library.ox.ac.uk/.
To insert a simple hyperlink
in Word
Highlight text you want to
link from and click on
Insert - Hyperlink
Enter url in address field…
Result: hyperlinked text
Obtain your url from OLIS
• Search the OLIS web version
http://www.lib.ox.ac.uk/olis/ for the
specific resource you want to link to.
• Mark the record (or records) you want.
• select Marked records
• Email the records to yourself using either
HTML email or Reading list format.
Mark the record (or records) you want
and select Marked records
Choose
from the marked records display
Email the marked records to yourself in either the
HTML summary or Reading list formats
HTML Summary email

Reading list format
You selected the "reading list" format, which emails you the records as a piece of HTML code suitable for inclusion on your
own web page (for example as a reading list). For each item the author, title, and publication information is displayed, as well
as a link to check for the item on OLIS (for example to see the current loan statuses).
Below are HTML fragments for the records formatted as a list. Simply cut and paste to the source of the web page you are
writing. The HTML is ready for use with CSS (style sheets) if you wish. A sample set of styles is at the bottom of this email.

Live links can be embedded
in reading lists in:
• Word or pdf documents
loaded on the web
• Web pages
• Weblearn
Inserting your url in Word
Link to catalogue locations from a reading list already existing in
Word
•
Mark some records and send yourself a Reading list email from
OLIS. Open the email and find the specific url you need as in the
example above. In Word select the text you want to be
hyperlinked and choose Insert – Hyperlink and cut and paste the
url into the Address box and click on OK.
Create a new reading list in Word
•
Search in OLIS for each of the resources you want to include.
Mark them and then email the marked records to yourself using
the HTML email format. Copy and paste the records from your
email into your word document and each title should give you a
hyperlink to the catalogue location.
Web pages
• You could upload word or pdf files
with inserted hyperlinks onto a web
page
• Alternatively you could create a
web page for your reading list
• In handouts follow the exercise:
Using Weblearn to publish online
reading lists (p.2)
Alternatives …
• Use EasyWriter to create a reading list in
Weblearn
• Refworks has a share references function
Refworks
• EndnoteWeb offers something similar
Linking from journals
• People like links through to full-texts of
journal article
• Problem: changing web addresses,
solutions, etc
• Solutions: persistent URLs and DOIs!
Persistent URLs
• A growing number of journal
suppliers provide persistent URLs
(also known as stable, durable,
persistent etc). DOI (Digital Object
Identifiers) are durable urls.
• JSTOR
• EBSCO Business Source Complete
• Copy and paste!
Stable URLS: JSTOR
• Find article (Article locator/search)
”
Click on “article information”
Stable URLS: JSTOR
Copy and paste URL into
any document
DOIs
• Most journal suppliers use the DOI
system
• Journal articles are assigned a
Digital Object Identifier
• Permanent identification:
•
The DOI System provides a framework for persistent identification,
managing intellectual content, managing metadata, linking customers
with content suppliers, facilitating electronic commerce, and enabling
automated management of media (www.doi.org)
Finding the DOI
• Find the journal article you want
• DOI usually listed on article’s “front
page”:
DOIs (2)
• Or, in the PDF itself
Using DOIs to link to articles
• Step 1: Find the DOI of a journal article
• Step 2: Copy the DOI
doi:10.1111/j.1467-8527.2007.00392.x
• Step 3: Add this prefix (the DOI resolver)
• http://dx.doi.org/
• http://dx.doi.org/doi:10.1111/j.14678527.2007.00392.x
This is now a permanent link to your journal article
Web 2.0
•
•
•
•
Lots of hyperbole and rhetoric!
Two key points:
Ease of use (wikis vs. websites)
Collaboration
Examples of Web 2.0 tools:
• Worldcat from OCLC which offers a lists
function
• LibraryThing allows people to create
personal libraries
• CiteULike which is a free service to help
you to store, organise and share the
scholarly papers you are reading
Web 2.0 services are about collaboration,
user-generated content and
communication.
MyWorldCat
• Blend of Web 2.0 and authorised
source
• Create and share online lists
• Education Library new books list
• Facilitate discussion
• Use of authorised bibliographic data
• Link through to OLIS
In conclusion
• Please spend some time working through the
exercises and ask for help if you need it.
• We hope this has been useful.
• Consult your librarian for help with reading lists
• Do get in touch if we can help in any way.
