Connecting your students to course resources has never been easier! Ball State University Libraries' Reading Lists application, now featuring a new, easier-to-use interface, gives students simple access to course reserve materials—full-text articles, e-books, Open Educational Resources, streaming music and video, and more. Library staff work behind the scenes to add and activate the resources that instructors select. The best part? The Reading Lists app connects directly with your Canvas course navigation menu. We received a number of positive comments from instructors who have utilized Reading Lists to provide affordable course materials to students taking on-campus and virtual courses. Join one of our upcoming online sessions for an overview of how Reading Lists can enhance your teaching.
