## 2.3. The bookmarking tool

The Talis Aspire Reading Lists Bookmarking browser extension offers the easiest way to add new items to your reading list. We suggest you therefore download the bookmarking tool before you start making your reading lists. This tool is available for Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Firefox, and Safari. The help page Bookmarking from your web browser from the manufacturer of VU Reading Lists (Talis Apire) shows you how to install the extension for your browser.

Once you have installed the Talis Aspire Bookmarking Tool in your browser of choice, pin the extension to your toolbar for easy access. The first time you click on the Talis Aspire Reading Lists Bookmarking tool in your browser you need to select and save your settings.
