My Unit Readings: Guide for Teaching Staff

My Unit Readings provides easy access to essential and recommended readings for your students. 

All readings and other resources should be delivered via My Unit Readings for the following reasons:

• My Unit Readings is the source of truth for essential and recommended textbooks. Students will use My Unit Readings to gather details on textbooks they require for their unit.
• Copyright protected content (including book chapters or print journal articles) must be delivered using My Unit Readings, as detailed in the University’s Copyright Policy and Procedure.

Your list can include:

• eBooks, ejournals and scanned (digitised) content
• Websites and online video, and
• Print items held by the Library.

You can organise your list by week, topic or importance. In built analytics allow you to track student use and engagement.

How students access your reading list

Once you have created a unit reading list, a link to the list will be made available to students via myMurdoch. Additionally, you can embed part or all of your list in the LMS.

Alternatively, unit reading lists can be accessed via My Unit Readings directly. Students can search for their lists by unit code, unit title or course coordinators name.

Once they have access to a list, students can create their own profile, mark their reading intentions and add personal notes.

This guide is for unit coordinators who would like to manage their own My Unit Readings list. If you prefer the Library to edit and manage your list for you, the Library website's My Unit Readings page has all the information you need.
