Reading List (Leganto) : Guide for Instructors

Reading List, powered by Ex Libris Leganto, is a new library service tool that helps improve the process of creating and managing course reading lists and submission of course reserves. 

Instructors can:

• create dynamic lists of citations from a range of sources -  print or electronic Library resources, streaming video, websites, textbooks, journals, and more
• monitor student engagement through system analytics
• promote student engagement by enabling features that allows students to recommend resources and post comments
• easily update content and reuse elements or duplicate whole lists for other courses
• comply with applicable copyright policies
• fully leverage library resources 
• allow selected collaborators to edit and manage lists

Students can:

• find all of their course readings in one place, recommend resources, and post comments for discussion
• access resources directly from the AnimoSpace – no separate log-in credentials needed, no broken links, mobile friendly
• have direct access to online resources such as ebooks, eJournals and databases, as well as websites and videos
• engage with Reading list - students can like and comment on resources and suggest new items to add to the list
• build their own collection of useful resource list
