Reading Lists Step-by-Step Guide

Reading Lists make it easy for you to find your module reading and resources. You can suggest new items, comment, create your own collection of items or export a reading list in your required citation style.
 
 
 

Find your reading list

Go to your module page in Moodle and follow the link to your reading list.

You can also search for lists on the Leganto Reading List webpage (click on Guest at the top right to log in).

Can’t find a reading list? Not all lecturers are using Reading Lists (the Leganto software for linking to ebooks and ejournals). Ask your lecturer if you are not sure.

 
 
Go to Moodle Go to Reading Lists
 
 

Follow a list

Click on Find Lists, search for your chosen reading list by title or code and then select Add.

Add a ‘like’ or comments

Did you particularly like a reading list item? Give it a like to show your lecturer that you enjoyed it! Or if you have comments, you can start a discussion. 

When you click on an item in a reading list, you will see a ‘like’ button and comment box at the right.
