Reading Lists Online: How to ...

UCC Reading Lists Online is a service provided by UCC Library, using Keylinks software, that will give students direct access to course readings via Canvas.

Why should I send my Reading Lists to the Library?

  • During the initial stage of the project any material on your reading list that is not stocked by the library will be ordered from a dedicated reading list fund that is supplementary to the Department’s book fund.  This will increase the amount your department has to spend on learning resources.

  • Reading lists are an easy and convenient way to organise and structure required course reading. Having your Reading Lists Online will ensure that all modules have a reading list available to students via Canvas

  • The lists are easily created and managed. Library staff will create the initial list for you and send instructions on how to add it to the module area in Canvas. We will show you how to create, update/edit the lists as required.

  • Online Reading Lists improve the student experience in accessing and engaging with content on their reading lists and ensures that library provision of required resources meets the teaching and learning needs of students and academic staff.

  • The Reading list service will provide usage data which will inform academics in the creation of future reading lists.

  • The Reading list service facilitates virtual access of module content thus supporting online teaching & learning.
