2. Click the desired citation, choose section and click "add". It is also possible to drag and drop the citation to the right section in the list.
Important: If the desired citation is an e-book, please make sure that the format is suitable for multiple users at the time. If no suitable e-book is found you can communicate with the library on the possible acquisition of a suitable e-format.
If you do not find your citation through "library search", you can upload your own file. Please make sure that the uploaded file complies with usage rights.
When added to the list, citations can be fitted with messages for the students like, "Read page 55-77" or "Note the neat review of the literature in the introduction of this article". See "Add information to your citations".
If you want your students to read a specific chapter of a book, start out by searching the book via "Library search".
If you find the book is available as a suitable e-book, write a public note for the students on what pages/chapters to read.
If you do not find a suitable e-book, you have several options.
1. Add the citation for the book to your list and add your own scanned file of the chapter to the reference. This can be done by clicking "edit item". Choose "Click here to drag or upload a file". Or you can

3. Ask the library to scan the chapter and add it to the book citation in your list.
Some book vendors do not allow multiple users on e-books. Even though the library aims at providing the best access possible within the budget, e-books found in the library catalog are not always suitable for presenting to a whole course of students. If you have found a citation that you would like to use in your course, click the online link to the resource and check how many users can access at the time.
As a general rule, e-books directly from the main academic publishers as Cambridge, Emerald, Sage, Springer, Taylor&Francis and Wiley has full access. Pearson is the exception with only 5 same-time users and therefore not suitable. E-books from aggregators like ProQuest and EBSCO are usually restricted.
The policy at CBS is that students should buy their own textbooks (or teachers can provide copies that are within the CopyDan agreement) - but we help with digital access where we can.
Do not hesitate to contact the library if in doubt.
