How do I understand the reading list?
The reading list contains all the books you are required to read for your course. Usually, it contains three types of references – books, journal articles and book chapters. The reading list can vary in style depending on the referencing style used.
Here is an example of what a reading list can look like.
Seymour, M. (2001). After Capitalism, Alfred A. Knopf.
Paulsson, G. (2012). The role of management accountants in new public management. Financial Accountability & Management, 28(4), 378-394.
Cameron, F. R., & Neilson, B. (2014). Introduction: Climate change, museum futures. In F. Cameron & B. Neilson (Eds.), Climate Change and Museum Futures. Taylor & Francis Group.
