Reading Lists

A guide to creating, editing and managing your list

2. Organise and structure your list

When a new list is created, a section is automatically created called resources. 

To help students navigate the list, and use it alongside the module content in  amore meaningful way, we advise creating section headings that are most relevant to  how you organise your module more broadly.  

You are able to edit the existing resources heading as well as adding in any additional section headings that will support the journey through the reading materials. 

Common section headings

Section header Examples
Time periods Semester 1, Week 1, Week 2
Topics or themes Research Methods; Essay Readings; 1920s Art, Mechanics of Materials
Resource Types Books; Key Journals; Useful Websites
 

Editing an existing heading

When a list is created for the first time it will automatically have a section called resources. To edit this, or any headings you've previously added and want to change:

  1. click on the 3 dots on the right hand side of the heading line
  2. select Edit section
  3. Rename the header as desired.
