ReadingList
The ReadingList enables teaching staff to create dynamic reading lists for students, providing them with direct links to reading/viewing materials both in the library and online.
Staff can build, maintain, and share reading lists on Blackboard; librarians can provide resources more efficiently and scale up to support more courses, and more importantly, students can access all course materials in one place.
Check out how to create your Reading List for the students or contact your Faculty Liaison Librarian.
