Moodle - Management of Reading lists - Leganto

Reading list request form >

By adding a module called "Leganto" in Moodle, library materials can be made accessible to any course directly from Moodle,
while adhering to copyright regulations.
The module connects the Moodle course to the library materials associated with it,
enabling students to access the materials directly within Moodle in a simple and efficient manner.
The reading list can include various types of library resources,
such as physical books, online books, scanned chapters, online articles, and more.
It is also possible to add internet sources and other types of materials.
To link course materials from the library catalog to the course,
the instructor must update the relevant library with the course details and required resources.

For inquiries about reading lists, contact the library: LINK

Adding a Reading List Component (Leganto) to the Course Site

If the component does not exist on the course site, first connect the add-on to the course site in Moodle.

Activate "Edit mode" and select "Add an activity or resource".

Select the Leganto icon (you can also use the search bar).

Add a name for the list in the "Activity name" field.

Click "Save and return to course".

The component named "Reading List" now appears in the course site;
Clicking the link allows you to open and edit the list.

When the display is limited and you cannot see the entire list, it is recommended to open the list in a new tab.

When opening the reading list for the first time, when no bibliographic items have been added yet,
you must create a section into which the items can be inserted.

Click the "New section" button.

Give the section a name and click the "Add" button.

Additional sections can be created as needed to divide the reading list by lessons, topics, etc.
