Business and Management Blog - Library Guides at University of Sunderland

The University of Sunderland Library Services website is bringing in a new feature called 'Collections', which will replace our monthly new book lists for all subject areas.

Previously, our new book lists have been included within our Library Reading Lists webpage, and have been a way to showcase new title purchases over the academic year. These reading lists - which were updated monthly - reflect the continuing development of our library collections as subject areas evolve.

Collections are embedded into our library search, which brings with it a few new features that will prove useful to students and staff looking to make use of our latest titles; including the ability to pin both the collection, and individual books to your 'favourites' within your library account.

New book collections will be updated continuously as new titles are purchased, meaning library users are able to view our latest titles as soon as they are available. We hope that you find Collections a useful addition to our library services.
