## 1.2. What is VU Reading Lists?

VU Reading Lists is an online reading list manager that is integrated with VU Canvas and with the University Library’s catalogue system. This tool helps lecturers to organize, manage and share course literature and other sources of educational resources with students or colleagues.

It provides students with an intuitive interface where they can find, manage and access the educational resources and it gives students access to these lists in a single place.

The tool provides lecturers with a way of presenting their students with lists of educational resources by providing links to these resources in holding by the university library (such as e-books and digital journal articles), as well as external sources such as open educational resources, multimedia and websites. It also offers lecturers full control over the layout of these list so that they can tailor them to reflect the content and structure of their courses in VU Canvas.
