If you would prefer to create or update your list yourself, please contact readinglists@gold.ac.uk so we can set you up with editing rights on the system.
We provide one-to-one and group training to support anyone editing. Contact us at readinglists@gold.ac.uk or via your Subject Librarian to arrange a session. We are very happy to arrange refresher sessions, too, or to assist with specific queries.
The tutorials on this page provide step-by-step guides to using the system. These can be worked through in your own time.
If you are editing an online list directly on the reading list system for Autumn 2023, please remember to publish your changes so your students can view them and send the list to the library for review by the end of July 2023 to allow sufficient time for essential resources to be purchased or digitised.
Reading Lists @ Gold requires you to choose between three levels of importance for a resource: Essential, Recommended, or Further Reading:
Marking the importance of your resources:
Particularly if the reading list is a long one, students might not be expected to access every resource. Marking an item as ‘Essential’ will make it clear to the student that they need to engage with this material in order to succeed in class.
Please link your list to the VLE, learn.gold, as this enables students to access resources directly via the module page. See our guide on linking lists to the VLE for more details.
