-Reading list systems give the user a '​course/​module'​ (or even week by week or the course) view on library resources. They highlight recommended (or essential) reading to students. They allow citations to be annotated (e.g. 'Read chapter 4' or '​essential reading'​). In an increasingly electronic/​digital age links will be\\ +
-made from the reading list citation to the full text. For academic staff they allow the maintenance of reading lists (with the ability to pull in new citations) and ability to automatically link reading lists to library resources (in the catalogue/​discovery system).\\ +
-\\ +
-Getting academics to use the '​library'​ reading list system has often proved challenging and it is not uncommon to find that the library manages much of the process around reading lists. For a library manager point of view links to the acquisition process will be helpful (e.g. suggestions of what to buy, or where more copies are needed and usage statistics). The reading list will typically be closely linked (e.g. embedded) in the institutions learning environment/​VLE. '​Reading List systems as described above were a peculiarity of the UK academic library scene for some time.They are unlike (US centric) '​Course Reserve'​ modules of a typical US ILS (LMS). However in 2015 ExLibris and SirsiDynix announced Reading List solutions.\\ +

 +“At Northumbria University, an institutional Educational Analytics project in partnership with Civitas Learning required sources of data from across the university to supply a custom predictive model designed to generate actionable insight and facilitate intervention. Given academic libraries are multidisciplinary resources used by all students and that sector research has previously demonstrated the relationship between library use and student success we felt we had a clear value proposition to offer to our University’s Educational Analytics project and in so doing, a chance to make a new contribution to student success.”
