The Add resource function is the basic way to add resources to your list. This functionality works best if the resource is also in the University library’s catalogue.
This functionality shows up in the form of a separate button when your list is still empty. If you already have items in your list, it will appear when you hover your cursor over the top or bottom of an item, paragraph or section (Figure 8). The functions Add paragraph and Add section work the same way.
Clicking Add resource opens the pop-up search screen (Figure 7). The search bar in this screen is basically the same search bar as the one on the University Library’s webpage: it gives you access to the University Library’s entire catalogue.
Under the heading My Bookmarks at the top you will see the sources you have previously added (of course this list will be empty if you are adding your first item in your first list). Below the bookmarked suggestions, under the heading Library Search, you will find the search results from the University Library’s catalogue.
After you have found your desired resource, simply click Add to list to add the item to your reading list (Figure 8). By default, items are added to the list you’re currently working with.
Any item you add will also be added to your bookmarks (My Bookmarks). This way, you can easily add the same resource to another list (see Figure 1).
Clicking on the title of the item shows more details, most notably the availability of the source at the University Library, including buttons with links to its original location (Figure 9). This view is also what students will see when they use that reading list and click on an item. You collapse this view by clicking on the title again.
The red text “Importance not set” indicates that you have not yet indicated to the students what the importance of this item in the list is. There are three levels of importance:
Setting an importance is not required.
Note: The importance label Required reading should only be used for official exam literature!
