3.2. Adding list details

The Create new list button creates a new list and opens a separate window (see Figure 5) in which you can enter the relevant details for your reading list.

Then click Save. You have now created your first reading list!

To help students find the right reading list for their courses, follow these guidelines when completing this window.

  1. For the title of your reading list, use name and course code of the corresponding course in VU Canvas, for example “S_PRRM1 | Public Relation and Reputation Management”.
  2. At 'Description’, add a description of the course that includes all relevant information. A good way to keep consistency is filling in this field by copy-pasting this information from the course description on VU Canvas.
  3. Under “internal note”, add a note that is only visible to others who edit the list and to University Library staff.
  4. Connect your list to the appropriate programme through Select Hierarchy. If your programme is not listed here, please report this at cip.ub@vu.nl and skip this step.
  5. Choose the relevant time period in which the course runs under ‘Academic Year’.
