Finding digitised E-counter items on your Reading Lists via the Marshall Library - Xmas Tip number 3

 When you are asked to read a particular chapter or article in a book on your reading list you will find them as Ecounter items or digitised reading. We make these digitised readings available via the iDiscover Library catalogue.

If , for example, you are an Economics Tripos student asked to read this item for Part IIB Paper 2, how do you find this reference:

Carlin, W. & Soskice,D. (2015), 'Debt dynamics' in Macroeconomics: institutions, instability and the financial system, Oxford University Press, pp.516-530?

Start by searching for the book in which the relevant pages are published by searching iDiscover for the author and keywords from the title:


Using the Library Refine menu - refine to MARSHALL LIBRARY to get to the correct edition and book record. Although it says Clare College (Forbes Mellon Library) and other locations - this is the correct record. Click on the blue link to find details about the Marshall Library copies and the digitised readings under Get It:

As you can see these pages are digitised for Economics PIIB students only - click here to access the digitised reading and enter your Raven CRSID and password to access it. Once you have done this the reading will open up with a copyright cover sheet for you to read and download!
