Getting started

How to create a profile in My Unit Readings

Before you can start your reading list, you need to create a profile for yourself in My Unit Readings. Your profile will connect you as the owner of your lists.

  1. Go to My Unit Readings: https://murdoch.rl.talis.com/index.html
  2. In the top navigation bar, click 'Log In'. Use your current Murdoch username and password to log in.
  3. Click on 'Create a profile'.
  4. Set your profile to public - this allows students to search for lists you’ve published under your name.
  5. Click 'Save profile'.

Creating bookmarks with the Bookmarking tool

Before you start collecting resources for your list, you need to install the bookmarking tool in your browser. You only need to do this once for each computer/browser that you use.

There are two different tools available:

  • A browser extension (currently available for Chrome, Edge and Firefox)
  • A bookmarklet (use for Safari).

The browser extension is the recommended tool moving forward, as different resources may occasionally have security updates that could break the connection with the bookmarklet. 

Please refer to the relevant section below for instructions on how to install the browser extension and bookmarklet.

Once you've installed the bookmarking tool, you can start creating bookmarks.

Install the browser extension (supported in Chrome, Edge and Firefox)

You only need to do this once for each computer/browser that you use.

You only need to do this once for each computer/browser that you use.
