myReadings

A guide for instructors, to the MyReadings course reserves tool.

Adding a citation from the library's collection

Please note - if you have sent your course list to the library and asked for our assistance, our staff will take care of adding materials to your myReadings site.

As well - if you use the tools below, to add items to your myReadings list, the library will need to review the additions for various reasons: if you have selected a print book from the library collection, library staff will have to retrieve the book from the stacks and add it to our short term loan shelf for your students, and it is also possible that library staff may have to explore paying copyright clearance for some of your items.

From within MyReadings the green ADD button is how you would both add resources for your students, but also how you could add Sections to your reading list.

 

Please see these notes from the developer of myReadings, if you would like more information about adding resources.

 

Search the Library / Add from favorites

Search the library would allow you to search our OMNI system for an item, and then have it added to your list. Add from favorites would only work if you have been signing into OMNI, and using the OMNI "pinning" feature to favourite books, articles, documentaries (as pictured below). If you have  been doing this, then Add from favorites would let you draw these favorited items into MyReadings.

"pinning" feature within OMNI - to favourite items in OMNI

Above is an example of the "pin" in our OMNI system, which lets you add an item to your "favorites" (or "pinned") items in OMNI. This only works if you are signed into the OMNI search system.
