• Easy to use - structured, annotated reading lists that are easy to share and maintain

• Integrated - Integration with learning management systems such as Primo and UNIT-e

Existing reading lists are accessible from the reading list block on the DLE module page. Once you reach the reading list you should be logged in but you can check by clicking the user icon  in the top right corner. If you are not logged in you can do so from there. You will need to use your University email address and password.

You can also create reading lists via this link readinglists.plymouth.ac.uk . Make sure you log in as described above.

If you find that, once logged in, you do not have editing permissions, contact your Information Specialist direct or via informationspecialists@plymouth.ac.uk .
