Library Help: Reading Lists Online

Welcome to Reading Lists Online

Reading Lists Online (RLO) is a web-based tool for accessing your reading lists. Reading lists provide one place to access to your subject specific recommending reading.

To access Reading Lists Online

  • If you are a perspective student and not yet enrolled, click here to view reading lists.
  • If you are a current student and already enrolled, click here to login and view your reading lists.

During your studies the best way to access your Reading List Online is via the Blackboard module site.

 

Looking at lists and accessing content

The Reading List Online (RLO) for your module can be found on the module home page of  your Blackboard site.

If there isn't an RLO in your Bb module you could search for it by module name or code on the RLO homepage.  You can search by module code or module title.. As you type in your keywords or module code, you will see the drop down menu appear underneath. Select the most up to date list from the options. If you don't see your module, click on the magnifying glass to the right of the search box to search the system. Select the LIST not the MODULE.
