E-Bricks

The Library’s Digital Learning Materials Service offers lecturers the opportunity to make all the reading material for their courses available to their students in electronic form. In other words, reading bricks can be made available as E-Bricks.

Scanning E-Bricks

Requirements are very similar to those for print bricks. Material for scanning should:

* Be A4 size, clean, straight on the page and preferably not on recycled paper
* Have text that is clear and legible
* Have little or no black photocopy margin

Please give a copy of your brick to circulation staff in any Library building. Please make sure you include the course code and the course co-ordinator contact details. The brick should also include the table of contents listing the bibliographic details of each individual item (chapter, article).

Accessing E-Bricks

There are several ways for students to access online material.

• Via the Library catalogue
  Search by course code or lecturer to see all the readings available
• Via a course website
  Lecturers are able to set up links to readings on course websites.
