Working with Reading Lists

Course Reading lists are a solution to managing and accessing resources to support learning and teaching. Reading Lists also play an important role in copyright compliance.

Working with Course Reading lists is simple:

  1. From StudyDesk, select the 'Course readings' navigation item. This will open a new window. 
  2. You can now add and edit resources in your Course Reading list.                

The Mandatory Text(s) for the course will already be added to the Reading List when it becomes available. 

To add or edit additional resources:

  1. select 'add items' and choose 'Library Search'
  2. enter the title or keywords in the search field
  3. select the relevant title from the results
  4. select the Reading List section the resource will be added to and select 'Add'

If the title is not held by UniSQ Library:

  1. select 'Add Items' and choose 'Blank Form'
  2. add item details and complete compulsory fields
  3. paste the URL of the item into the 'Source' field or upload a file
  4. select which Reading List section the resource will be added to and select 'Add'

To edit an item:

  1. select the ellipsis to the right of the title and select 'Edit Item'
  2. make the necessary changes and select 'Save'

 

Course Readings allows course examiners to add staff associated with the course to the reading list to help with engagement and list management. 

To manage collaborative staff in your list:

  1. Click on the 'Collaborators button' (on the top right of your reading list) and select the drop-down arrow
  2. Choose 'Manage collaborators', this will show the current collaborators and give you the option to 'Add new collaborators'
  3. Under 'Invite new collaborators', enter their name or email address, select collaborator then click 'Send Invitation'.
