eReading Lists
COVID 19 update
Digitisation requests may not always be possible due to issues associated with the current Covid-19 situation.
Some requests may be processed if a book is available in a staffed collection (Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane currently unstaffed) or via purchase. This can lead to longer than normal processing times.
Please contact my-librarian@cqu.edu.au for further assistance.
eReading Lists is a new system integrated with Moodle which provides Unit Coordinators and Lecturers an interactive and collaborative way of providing readings and other resources for students in one place.
Key benefits include:
- Direct links to the CQUniversity Library collection, delivering robust links to quality resources
- All items linked from within the Library collection are copyright compliant
- Reading lists can be structured to suit your unit needs (by week, topic etc)
- Reading lists can either compliment, or be an alternative to, prescribed texts
- Citations can be tagged and annotated to highlight their importance or relevance
- Resources from other sources are checked by Library staff for copyright compliance
- Copies of readings not held in the Library collection (formerly CROs) can be requested by simply adding a digitisation tag and any additional details to a citation added to the list. These readings will be added to your reading list automatically when complete.
- Reading lists are 'rolled over' to the next term (HE units) or year (VET units) a unit is offered - this may reduce administrative time when preparing units
- Analytics are available enabling you to see how items are being used and where early intervention may be required
- Easy reporting of broken links.
- Students can view online course materials on any device.
