...does the Reading List Policy limit the number of items on a list? (5 essential items, 25 further reading.) Research shows that students find long lists overwhelming or very daunting (Brewerton, 2014). Items need to have a purpose for being on the list. Also, reading lists need to be affordable, with the items on them readily available.

...do I have to complete my reading list in advance of teaching? You are asked to adhere to reading list update deadlines to help ensure the timely provision of resources for your students. Student satisfaction is important to all of us. Give the Library time to acquire your reading list items and your students are less likely to find getting them is "typically frustrating and sometimes very stressful," (Bevan, 2012). See the Reading List Policy for advice on topical reading.

...should I include my weekly readings the Leganto reading list? If you wish to give weekly readings to your students, include them in Leganto, to keep all your reading recommendations in one location. You can request digitisation (scanning) of articles and chapters from within Leganto. The Library will keep editions up to date and details in the lists should be accurate - 32% of reading list items in a survey were found to be inaccurate (Siddal and Rose, 2014, p. 64).

...shouldn't I put additional lists in Canvas?Again, keep all module reading in one location, in Leganto. The Library can acquire the items and students can access the items. In a University of Northampton survey, 78% of academics "recommended additional reading which was not on their reading lists and therefore unlikely to be stocked in the Library" (Cameron and Siddal, 2017, p. 48).

...is important to recommend reading that is available online? Electronic books and journal articles are, in general, available to students without restriction, on or off campus. Print books have to be collected from campus and are available for a limited time, if requested by other students. Consider digitisation of a chapter from print books, to increase access. Electronic texts can also offer increased accessibility for students with additional needs.

...list journal articles in Leganto, why not upload the pdfs in Canvas? 'Republishing' the pdf in Canvas is usually a breach of copyright. This applies to journal article pdfs from University subscriptions or from elsewhere. See your copyright responsibilities here. If we don't have the ejournal, request digitisation of the article. We get more accurate journal usage statistics for our annual review if students click through to the online article.

Have you noticed a new reading list tool in your Interact2 menu? If so you could be using one of the Library's new Leganto reading lists! These reading lists have been designed to help students by placing their readings together in the one handy place, with links to readings making them easy to find and access. But wait, there's more...

Leganto reading lists can offer students and academics many more options than they've had in the past:

Access content from popular, dynamic and front-line resources, including websites, text books, articles, eReserve items, videos, images, and eBook chapters.

Quickly place a hold or request a digitisation via Leganto on physical items that are held by the library.

Add a private note to a reading e.g. "Perfect for Assessment 3".

'like' resources, suggest new materials, create personal collections, and share comments and recommendations with other students in your course.

Easily download articles and eBook chapters that are linked to in your reading list.

Allows an increased flexibility between academics in different courses who want to use the same material when designing learning content.

Academics can add or change readings throughout the session to enrich and engage students, and changes are instantly available to users.

Leganto is suitable for mobile devices, and has a single intuitive user interface.

You may have had a Leganto reading list created for your subject by the Library to manage copyright compliance and mitigate risk - you'll find your Leganto reading list available as a link in the main left hand menu in your i2 subject site.

If you don't already have one & would like a reading list built for your students, please complete our online form now. This short video goes through the many benefits of a Leganto reading list, and may help you make up your mind! Additionally, this video produced by the Library will give you an idea of what Leganto looks like for students. If you've used a Leganto reading list this session, you can submit your feedback here - we'd love to hear your thoughts! As always, please contact us at the Library with any questions you have about how Leganto reading lists might work for you.

The resources below are available to assist you with promotion of Leganto and are grouped into toolkits for specific promotional scenarios and opportunities. All materials have been developed assuming an audience of an instructor or student, as applicable, but may be also suitable for partners or librarians. Training and other documentation for Leganto for librarians is available in other areas of the Knowledge Center.

As you get started we suggest you review the Adoption Guide and develop a timeline for your outreach activities. Please reach out to your Campus Engagement Manager if you need further guidance on selection of resources or to obtain a copy of the Guide. We can also assist with sharing examples of materials that have been adopted by other customers. Available examples include, but are not limited to: LibGuides; outlines for instructors; newsletters; posters; and advertisements used in campus publications and online.

For use when recruiting instructors to participate in a pilot of Leganto either during the implementation or in your early terms using the system.

For use by librarians in reaching out to instructors with whom you have an existing relationship to get them introduced to Leganto. The goal of this outreach will be for someone to start a reading list or to agree to a more in-depth training session.

For use in conducting a training session with instructors.

Add Citations from the Web via Cite It! Widget

Install the Leganto "Cite It!" widget on your browser toolbar, and use it to easily add citations from the web, such as webpages, YouTube videos, or online articles.

Add your colleagues and fellow instructors as reading list collaborators, allowing them to add and edit citations. You can also add them as owners to your list, allowing them to manage collaborators as well.

View Student Usage Reports

Leganto Student Usage Reports allow you to gague the effectiveness of your reading lists. Reports give you a complete analysis of student activities such as viewing the full text of citations, liking, commenting, and marking as read. Reports are presented as an overview or a weekly breakdown. You can view a report across lists or drill down to view the report on the section, citation, or citation type level. Recports can be exported to an Excel spreadsheet.
