Course readings are typically required readings (sometimes supplemental) listed on your course syllabus that have been made available to you through the Library (helping to keep your course costs down). Students must authenticate to access the Course Readings platform and to gain full access to each item.
Students can locate their reading lists in a few different ways:
In your Brightspace course site, under the ‘Course Tools’ menu, select “Course Readings (Leganto)’
Your professor may have also created a separate unit under the ‘Content’ menu (or possibly embedded links to each weeks or individual readings in different places in your course units.
You can also search across all courses that have a reading list in the Course Readings tool. Log In directly to search for your course code and locate any reading lists that have been made for your courses. You will also find a direct link under the Search menu on the library homepage.
NOTE: If there is nothing listed under “My Lists” it may be because you have not been added to the brightspace course site yet. Use “All Lists” tab to search for your course code.
Search your course code in Omni. Items available in Omni that are on your course reading list will be listed (additional items, not available through Omni are only accessible through the Course Readings Platform in your Brightspace course site or by logging in directly to Leganto).
