There are a number of things to consider when building your reading list that might make it more inclusive. This includes the perspectives represented and the dominance they are given, the use of non-traditional resources as well as the accessibility of the resources and the list as a whole.
We have created a Self-Reflection Tool to help you. (A downloadable version of this is available below this section under CC By Attribution license.)
King's Libraries & Collections offer a huge multidisciplinary information resource base including over 1.2 million printed books and ebooks; more than 60,000 journals, reference tools, statistical data, official publications, maps, music scores and multimedia resources.
These collections guides highlight the online resources most relevant to your subject area.
Leganto is the system used by King's College London to manage reading lists. Workshops include an introduction for King's staff to using Leganto to create and manage reading lists. In the near-future we will be hosting drop-in sessions to work on reading lists in a collaborative space with library staff on hand to support attendees.
Please use the calendar below to find and book a place on the next available workshop.
This workshop will help you get started in finding what you need in the educational research literature available to you through King’s Library. The workshop is bookable on Skills Forge and are held once a semester delivered in partnership with King’s Academy.
