In preparation for the next academic year (2024/25) we are transitioning to a new online reading list system.
The benefits of the new system include:
We have recently completed the data transfer and your reading has been copied over from the old system into the new system. The content will be the same, but the layout might differ slightly.
Library staff members are currently going through the lists and cleaning up the data over the next few months in preparation for the Blackboard rollover in July. We are preparing training sessions over the summer. Please sign up from the upcoming Training page.
You are welcome to take a look under the bonnet; the reading list system is accessible via the Intranet home page - look for Reading Lists (New - Leganto) at the bottom of the page.
If you have any questions or queries, you can contact us by email.
Here are some of the changes and new features of the new online reading lists.
You can add content directly whilst within your reading list, including pulling resources directly from Library Search without having to open a separate page.
You can add web resources (web pages, newspaper articles, podcasts) by using the Cite It bookmarklet, which can be found under Settings.
Tags will be more important in the new reading lists as they will directly impact how resources are purchased for students. Tags can be found in the 'Item actions' sub-tab under the 'Full Details' information for an individual resource.
More comprehensive information about tagging is available in the Tag it! Why tags matter tab.
In the new reading list system, you can copy items from any reading list into your own. It is also possible to duplicate entire lists.
