Making Course Resource Lists Easier - Ex Libris

Search suggestions:

A recent report published by the Higher Education Library Technology (HELibTech) has highlighted the importance and changing nature of the course resource list. It is no longer sufficient for a library to simply hold several copies of a given book in its “course reserves” section. Academic course resource lists are becoming more comprehensive, as they stretch to include multimedia, websites, podcasts, digitized excerpts, and digital-only source material.

A reading list can be general or focused and stable or dynamic, depending on the needs of the instructor and the course. Lists can be prioritized and annotated, drawn from assets the library holds or is subscribed to, and include third-party resources.
