Colleagues may find this new list relevant.
We are happy to announce the launch of a new JISCmail list
'READING-LIST-SOLUTIONS'
https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A0=READING-LIST-SOLUTIONS
This list is for users and software developers of reading list solutions
(commercial and open source software, or other approaches) in academic
institutions to discuss issues around their implementation, use,
development and interoperability with other systems.
Reading Lists, or lists of recommended reading in course handbooks and
other forms have long been a key resource for students. However, they
can also be a source of frustration for libraries - trying to get up to
date copies to make sure the correct titles are in stock in the right
numbers.
The concept of a 'reading list' is also an example of where the library
collection intersects with teaching material, and clearly with the move
to putting more teaching material online in learning environments such
as Blackboard and Moodle, this raises questions of the most effective
way of integrating library resources into the teaching environment.
This new list is intended to discuss the issues, challenges, solutions
and share best practices in this area.
You can join the list at
