We recommend you review your list on an annual basis to allow for the inclusion of new material and to review students' suggestions. You may also need to check that you have the most recent edition of textbooks and core titles on the list. You might also want to look at some of the data available within the reading list system and remove items where engagement has been low, or add annotations to encourage students to read it.

When you publish a reading list, the system monitors how many clicks each item gets, so you can get a picture of student engagement levels.

To do this:

• access your reading list via the link in Canvas
• click on the graph icon on the right hand menu (this is the 'Analytics' button)

This will open the 'Analytics' to view the usage of each citation (see below). 
You will see full text access, active students and the number of loans for printed stock.  Please note this is the total number of loans in the system.

For more information about analysing usage of your list, please watch the short video here produced by the providers of Leganto (the reading lists system).  There's also a handout summary of how you can monitor usage of your reading list.

In our reading lists system, students can:

• add suggestions to their reading list
• mark items as 'done' when they have read them

Module leaders can now:

• embed links within Canvas to individual titles or sections on their reading lists

Module leaders can also:

• embed citations within pages and modules in Canvas (see our 'how to' video below)

If you would like more information, please contact the reading lists team.
