Reading Lists @ Gold is an online system of communicating reading list requirements to students.
The online reading lists link students directly to the resources required for their modules, giving them quicker, easier access to the materials they need. Feedback also indicates that direct access to resources via online reading lists assists students with referencing material for assignments.
The online reading list service:
Send your Autumn Term reading lists to us by Monday 21 July using the reading list submission form. Attach your list to this form as a Word document.
Submitting by 21 July ensures guaranteed availability of essential resources at the start of term. Late submissions may result in delays.
You can include books and book chapters, articles, films and any other media on reading lists.
To ensure we can process submitted lists efficiently:
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.
