WISER: Reading listsProviding 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/.

HTML Summary email
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.

Reading list format
For a permanent url to a resource on OLIS just copy the DOCID eg http://library.ox.ac.uk/find?DocID=10092137
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 DOIdoi: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.1467-
8527.2007.00392.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.
