3. What are resource lists?

4. Create, manage and provide access to online reading lists
The system we use is called Leganto
Course organisers can invite colleagues to collaborate on lists
Templates are available to help course organisers structure lists
Add any resource with a web address to a list
Books, book chapters, e-books, journal articles, websites
Resources on lists are prioritised using tags and can be filtered
Complies with the University’s Accessible and Inclusive Learning Policy
Increased functionality for students
Access through the VLE
Students can discuss resources, and suggest new ones, for a list
Create a collection of resources and use tags to manage them
Export to MS Word in a chosen citation style

9. Why is the Library supporting online reading lists?
1. To improve the student experience
Makes core texts available in sufficient quantities (print) or accessible (electronic)
Provides students with easy and consistent access to core reading materials
2. To make it easier for academics to use Library services
Single entry point to Library services
Saves time – lists are easy to maintain and can be rolled over each year

The Library has an e-preference policy
If a title is out of print a single copy will be sourced (if possible)
10% of a book, or one chapter/article, can be scanned
New books will be located in the relevant site library for the course
