What makes a good list?
You can add anything to your Reading List. Most important is to include the ‘essential’ resources all students are required to read in preparation for lectures and seminars. For more information on how we source essential and recommended reading view our purchasing policy page. By providing direct links to these resources you will help students spend more time reading as opposed to searching for them.
Structure: We recommend week by week - or topic by topic - sections, with clearly marked 'Essential' and 'Recommended' sub-sections.
Size: we have statistical evidence that concise lists get the most usage. We recommend 150 items max.
Student experience: availability of learning resources has an impact on the student experience. We recommend that each taught module should have an online reading list, so that the Library can provide the learning resources needed.
Scaffolding: the reading list can be used to scaffold your teaching, by offering relevant resources, that are clearly signposted, and tied in to your curriculum content. We recommend that the online reading list is used as tool to support the teaching and learning of a specific module.
Structuring lists by sections
Use 'Sections' to organise your materials into any structure that suits your module teaching. When you are in your reading list, you will see the option to New Section towards the top right of the list.
You will be prompted to give the section a title, e.g. 'Week 1'. The description is optional but can be used to give more context to the week.
Dates can be added to indicate when the section runs during the year. If the list rolls over to the next academic year these dates do not rollover
Rearranging sections You can easily move sections of your reading list around.
n.b., Remember to rename the sections, i.e. if you moved Week 1's readings to Week 9. |
