Go to the 'My Bookmarks' tab on the reading lists system and click the Bookmarklet Installation Tutorial. This will explain how to add the button to the favourites bar in your browser.

If you need help, watch this video tutorial from Talis Aspire with instructions for Internet Explorer or for Firefox.

Firefox or Internet Explorer. Safari and Chrome are not supported, although the Firefox bookmarklet will work with either of these.

You can use Amazon or any other website to bookmark items not in stock in the Library. Just navigate to the item page and click your bookmarklet. If any details are missing, use the Lookup field and the ISBN, or the Add field function to fill in the gaps.

There are many different e-journal providers and bookmarking is different on many of them. The following should work just by clicking your bookmarklet: ScienceDirect; Informaworld Taylor & Francis; Oxford University Press Journals; Sage Journals; SpringerLink.

If you have any problems bookmarking from these providers try looking for the article DOI and follow the instructions below.

To bookmark from the following providers you will need to find the article DOI: Emerald; Cambridge University Press Journals; Institute of Physics Journals; Wiley-Blackwell.

Copy and paste the DOI into the 'Lookup: DOI' field which appears when bookmarking items. Click look-up and the items bibliographic information should be automatically entered and the bookmark can be saved.

Some providers do not use a DOI and bookmarking from these can be more complex. Providers in this category include: EBSCO; JSTOR; HeinOnline; Westlaw; Lexis Library; Swetswise.

Work is ongoing to simplify this process but in the meantime you can simply add the article to your bookmarks but amend the item details manually so that the correct bibliographic information is shown.

If you have a query about a provider not listed please contact your academic liaison librarian for further help.

First double check that the Library has online access to the article and that the published details are correct. If the Library has online access to the journal year and issue that contains the article, try re-bookmarking the resource to generate a new link.

If the online resources pages show access but you are unable to find or bookmark the actual article, please fill in a Report a Fault form to start a full investigation into that particular resource.

A DOI (Digital Object Identifier) is a string of characters that uniquely identifies an electronic object, such as a journal article, and allows for the object to have a permanent URL. Many e-journal articles will have a DOI; you can add this into the 'look-up DOI' field to quickly and effectively bookmark an article.

You can bookmark websites, blog posts, YouTube videos, podcasts - basically anything that you find online. You can also bookmark other items in the Library catalogue, such as DVDs, videos, theses and dissertations.

You can click the 4-way-arrow icon next to an item and drag it to where you would like it to be. You can also add new items by clicking and dragging them from the 'Most Recent Bookmarks' panel on the right-hand side of the screen.

Add new sections, notes or pages by clicking and dragging the required item onto your list. Once they are on your list you can reposition items, or if you change your mind, delete them completely.

Your list may still be in draft format. Go into your reading list, enter edit mode, and click the Publish button.

It's not possible to 'unpublish' a list, but you can create a copy of a list and archive the old one. This will enable you to edit it and publish when you are ready.

To copy a list:

1. Navigate to the list and click Copy in the 'Actions' column (you will only see this if the list is published).
2. In the page that loads, give your copy a distinct name (eg by adding this academic year at the end)
3. Check that 'Copy hierarchy associations to new list?' is ticked.
4. Click OK.

To archive a list:

1. Navigate to the module by searching for the module code.
2. Click Remove in the 'Actions' column next to the list you want to archive.
3. In the 'Confirmation' pop-up, click OK.
4. Go into the list itself, and click Archive.

Clicking Request review after adding resources to your list alerts the Library to these changes and ensures that copies of new items will be available in the Library.

Use the 'Note for library' option to request books to be ordered when adding an item to a list. When you click Request review, this information is sent to library staff. Library notes are not visible to students; they can only be accessed by library staff.

If your list is not yet on the reading list system, you can request book orders by annotating your reading list and emailing readinglistshelp@kent.ac.uk

You can export lists to RefWorks by using the 'Export Citations' option at the top of a list. You will need to save the RIS file created and then import this into RefW orks.

You can now import references from RefWorks by exporting the references into an RIS file and saving them to your computer. You can then use the Import button on the My Bookmarks screen to upload the file and create the bookmarks for adding to your list.

At present there is no automatic way to do this but the 'Note for students' field can be utilised to type in the reference in Harvard style.

Alternatively, you could use the 'new page' option to add in referencing guidance specific for your academic school.
