Introduction
For students who study courses which have an online reading list, they benefit from:
- access to up-to-date materials
- interactive resources
- physical stock in the library
- access to a wide range of online sources
These are all available directly from their reading list, presented in a user-friendly and accessible interface. In order for students to have a good experience with online reading lists, their academics need to understand their benefits and engage with the system and library.
We have a wide range of content shared from our community on Academic Engagement, including tips and strategies to encourage reading list adoption. Do take a look at the links and details below:
