E-Resources-Course Reserve

E-Resource tool: Leganto

Leganto is within Brightspace and supports creating and managing course material reading lists. Instructors can build, maintain, and share resource lists that include all material types in a single list so that students can access all their course materials in one place. 

What are the Benefits of using E-Reserves?

• Reduced workload for instructors
  • Reading lists can be saved and reused across semesters
  • The ability to create multiple reading lists in draft form allows instructors to work at their own pace
  • Autonomy in developing, changing, updating, and saving course lists
  • Adding notes to help direct students to specific items
• Easy to update and add material
  • Search the library's catalog and link directly to resources; no need to deal with off-campus access or link maintenance
  • Instructors can add non-library materials from other internet resources (PDFs, videos, newspaper articles)
• Improved student experience
  • Centrally located course materials
  • Affordable, equitable access to library-purchased materials
  • The interactive platform increases student engagement
• Other useful benefits
  • The My Collection folder 
    • store material that might be needed for course or research
    • students also have this item and can store material for their research/papers/assignments
  • Updates to lists are immediately available to the student
