Over 500 reading lists and 450 new digitised readings been added to myReadingList since its launch in September. myReadingList offers students direct access to library resources from within their course and unit areas in myUCA, which enables course teams and students to find and make greater use of the University's collections, particularly when studying online.
At the end of this academic year, current reading lists will be rolled over automatically for the new academic year - these will be published in draft so that they can be reviewed, updated and published by course teams.
The use of myReadingList is a mandatory requirement for all courses and the Liaison Librarians are on hand to offer course teams help and support in creating and managing reading lists.
