Course Reading List Tool

• You can add resources to individual sections by clicking the + button on the right
• This will open a dialog box where you can search library resources. To add a resource not held by the library, click the "Add item manually / Upload file" link at the top of the dialog box.
• By default, you will search in the library catalog, but you can change this setting by selecting another option in the Search Library drop-down menu. The other search options are Search Everything, Library Catalog, Articles & More, Course Reserves, WorldCat, and TV News Archives.

• For most cases, leaving the defaults (Simple Search in the Library Catalog) will be appropriate. Enter in a search term in the text box, and click search.
  • You can also search by Title, Author, ISBN, ISSN, Call Number and DOI. 
• Your results will appear in the dialog box below your search query.
• Click the resource you want to add and click the blue ADD button. Note: clicking this button multiple times will add the item to your list each time. You can also drag and drop the title directly to the reading list.

• You can continue to add as many resources as you would like.

• Students can view online resources by clicking View online.
  • If there is only one entry point it will automatically open a new tab with the resource.
  • If there are multiple options, it will list all the relevant databases.
  • All the links go through the library, preventing potential access problems.
