Readings & Resources in Brightspace: Faculty can create embedded course reading lists within Brightspace using the library tool called Leganto. You can use Leganto to add library resources, open educational materials, websites, and uploaded documents all in one organized, easy-to-access list. For step-by-step instructions, visit our Readings & Resources (Leganto) guide or contact the library to consult with a librarian.

To request library staff assistance generating a reading list, please complete the reserves request form below.

Linking Directly to Library Resources: 

Permanent links to library resources can be generated within the catalog or database records for items you want to link to directly in your syllabus or Brightspace course rather than creating a full list. You can also create a link by adding our Open Athens prepend to the beginning of the resource link:
