Preparing for Semester II - the Library's Reading List Service
The Library's reading list service is a one-stop teaching support service for academic staff..
When you use our system we will:
- prioritise your reading lists
- order required books/e-books
- request chapter and article digitisation
- provide direct linking to the list from Blackboard for your students.
 |
| The reading lists dashboard feature shows how often lists have been accessed and materials used by students. |
-There is no requirement for separate book ordering or scanning requests. The Library will ensure sufficient access to your resources.
-Once the reading list is created, it will roll forward for the next academic year. The Library will be automatically informed of any updates.
-Unlike direct links added to Blackboard, the resources will all be available off-campus.
-Unlike uploaded articles on Blackboard, statistically important access/citation figures will increase and be accurate.
-Each list has a durable url and could be, for example, added to Akari as a permanently updated list. There is no loss of important module information if there a change in teaching personnel.
-Reading Lists can be shared if there are a number of staff teaching a module.
