Add Items from the Library Catalog
After clicking on the ADD ITEMS + button, select the option for Library Search. This search box will search the University Libraries’ collections of physical and electronic materials, including books, eBooks, articles/book chapters in databases, DVDs, CDs, streaming media, and more.
Enter a title, author, or other keywords into the search box or use the Advanced Search option to search the catalog. Once you've found your item, you can add the item to your Reading List by:
- Selecting the citation
- Deciding which section in your list to add the item to
- Either choosing ADD & EDIT (to customize your citation) or ADD to add it directly to a list.
When adding a print book or DVD from the JMU Libraries collection, you will be prompted to select a loan period (select only one per citation) and library location (JMU Libraries Express (1050 S. Main), ETMC, Music Library or Rose Library) where your students will check out these items. Library staff will place the item on reserve at your selected location.
