Reading Lists
The Library's Reading Lists and Reserves service makes course readings and other assigned materials accessible directly to students and instructors in URCourses. This includes online access to ebooks, book chapters, articles, streaming film/video, websites, digitized materials (where permitted by copyright) and more.
Steps For Instructors:
If you are interested in using this service, library staff will assist you with building your online reading list. This service includes copyright clearance, material requests, and scanning/digitizing material (where permitted).
Instructors must submit all course lists in advance to allow enough time for the Library to purchase new materials, processes existing materials and ensure reading lists are accessible in URCourses for the start of term:
- July 1 for the Fall Term
- November 1 for the Winter Term
- March 1 for the Spring/Summer Term
Requests received after these dates will be processed. However, there is no guarantee that items will be available in time for the start of term.
All reading lists are completed on a first-come, first-served basis.
To get started:
- Add a new reading list to URCourses.
- Once you've created your reading list, you can either:
- Begin creating your reading list.
- Send us a Word document with your course readings and we will create it for you.
