<h1>Reading List/Resource List solutions</h1>
<div class="level1">

<p>
These are essentially 'curation' tools. Academics (with the help of librarians ) create online resource lists - by module/course even week of study. Resource may be further categorized as 'essential' or background' reading. In this way they make 'discovery' largely redundant.
</p>

<p>
In the UK and other countries such as Australia and New Zealand older 'course reserve' modules have almost entirely replaced by more comprehensive <em>Reading List</em> solutions such as Talis <em>Aspire</em>, Ex Libris <em>Leganto</em> or Kortext <em>Keylinks. </em>Reading list solutions are increasingly adopted in the US and worldwide. Marshall Breeding's 2020 <a href="https://americanlibrariesmagazine.org/2020/05/01/2020-library-systems-report/" class="urlextern" title="https://americanlibrariesmagazine.org/2020/05/01/2020-library-systems-report/" rel="nofollow">Library Systems Repor</a>t notes that "Leganto …has been purchased by 166 institutions".

<p>
The library at Northumbria University and Talis have worked in partnership to develop library analytics for student success. The university has been working with the Civitas Learning student success analytics solution. Blog post The blog links to a more in depth white paper:-
</p>

<p>
“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.”
</p>

<p>
It highlights the central role for Library centric reading list solutions (Northumbria use Talis Aspire:<br/>

“Through our long-term partnership with faculty, our reading list service had achieved a critical mass of content and had become a key online destination for students, attracting a wide range of student learning activity in one place”.<br/>

By Suzanne Tatham. In: 2nd CILIP ARLG Study Conference - The Final Frontier, 23-25 June 2014, University of Sussex.<br/>

<br/>

"In this workshop for the CILIP 2014 ARLG conference, we explored some of the issues around resource discovery, looking specifically at the barriers created by having multiple systems, interfaces and points of access. We discussed whether there is more we can do to help students to find the materials they need for their studies.<br/>

At the University of Sussex, we use a VLE based on Moodle and the Talis Aspire online reading list system. Our research points to students wanting their VLE to be the place where they go to get everything they need for their academic study. The online reading lists had been linked to students’ module pages but it was a link to an often long and unwieldy list. It was also fairly hidden, at the bottom of the page in the VLE. Most academics at Sussex structure their teaching - in the VLE, reading lists system and elsewhere - into sections specific to a teaching week or topic. For this reason, it seemed an obvious goal to try to integrate the online reading lists in the same way. Students would then be able to discover all their resources for any particular week, all in one place. However, whilst Talis Aspire provides a simple way of linking to a module’s full reading list within Moodle, there is no simple method of linking to a section in a reading list. This integration necessitated some joined up thinking, so the E-learning team and the Library collaborated to deliver what one academic described as “gloriously straightforward!”.<br/>
