## 1.1. Notes about this manual

This is a manual for lecturers and support staff who have just started using or intend to start using VU Reading Lists. Although everyone has their own preferred way of working, the manual intends to match as much as possible to how lecturers and support staff are likely to use VU Reading Lists.

Be aware that this is a manual to get you started with VU Reading Lists; it is not an exhaustive reference work for the application. The support pages of the application’s developer are much more complete; you can find them on support.talis.com.

If you have questions, or if you have suggestions for improvements for this manual, please contact us at cip.ub@vu.nl.

Bear in mind that this manual assumes that you have a working knowledge of Canvas, the virtual learning environment used at VU. If you’re new to Canvas, please follow the course Getting To Know Canvas - Teachers first.

A note about the terminology: by “VU Reading Lists” we mean the application for creating and managing digital reading lists. We use the terms (digital) “reading list” and “reading lists” for actual lists created in this application.
