Reading lists and textbooks
For each unit you are studying, you will have a reading list and may have a prescribed textbook. The reading list includes compulsory and recommended reading resources, including books, book chapters, journal articles, websites and media.
You will find your reading list and textbook information in your unit site on DeakinSync during orientation.
You can also access this information on the Deakin Library website:
- you can enter unit code in the search bar to access your readings for a unit.
- you can use the Get Textbooks page to find out which textbooks are prescribed and/or recommended for a unit.
If you can't borrow your textbook from the library, you can buy your textbooks online. Deakin does not sell textbooks directly: you can purchase them online in both print and e-book format from either the publisher or a book e-retailer. Remember to check you have the correct edition listed for your unit.
