The Library currently provides 1900 Resource Lists for courses across every school. Lists can be viewed via the service homepage: http:\/\/resourcelists.ed.ac.uk<\/a> \u00a0However, most students access their Resource Lists via a link in the left hand menu in the corresponding Learn course.<\/p>\n Resource Lists is the preferred route for Course Organisers to manage the provision of library materials. Once set up, lists are rolled over each June and can be reviewed and edited for the next academic year.<\/p>\n Any resource with a web address can be added to a list, including, books, e-books, book chapters, journal articles and videos. Course organisers assign priority to list items (Essential, Recommended or Further reading) and add notes for students indicating which chapters or pages should be read. The Library uses the priorities and student numbers to inform number of copies purchased and loan periods.<\/p>\n Resource Lists provide students with a number of features to help them manage their course reading. Students can create their own collection, make suggestions for new items to be added to lists and export their lists in their preferred citation style.<\/p>\n There is more information about Resource Lists on the IS website: http:\/\/edin.ac\/resource-lists<\/a><\/p>\n For more information, please contact Library.Learning@ed.ac.uk<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In response to LLC colleagues\u2019 interest and\u00a0 requests, the Library Learning Services will provide a Resources Lists workshop specially for staff of the LLC School who are using or planning to use the Resource Lists for their course teaching.
