My Unit Readings: Guide for Teaching Staff

Edit your list

A guide for teaching staff who wish to maintain their own reading lists in My Unit Readings.

Editing your list

Once the Library has created your list, or if you already have an existing list from before, you can edit your list by adding resources and text, or structuring it in different ways (eg. by week).

The video below shows how to add different types of items to your list.

Follow the link below for instructions on how to:

  • Add resources, paragraphs and sections
  • Edit an existing item, paragraph section or on your list
  • Move items or sections around
  • View the list as a student.

A sample reading list is also provided below for your perusal - you may need to log in to see its full functionality.

Setting resource importance and adding notes

Once a bookmark is in a list, you can set it to either Essential or Recommended and add notes if you want to.

  1. Click on 'Set Importance' in the bookmark. Choose either 'Essential' or 'Recommended' for readings, and 'Essential textbook' or 'Recommended textbook' for textbooks.
  2. Click on 'Edit notes and importance' in the bookmark.

Expected student numbers

You can set the number of expected students that will access your reading list. Adding this information now will make it easier when requesting digitisations.

  1. Access your list, and select 'Edit' button from the options just below the reading list title.
  2. Select 'Hierarchy and student numbers'.
  3. Enter the expected number of students in your unit and click 'Save'.

Changing the list owner

You can only have one list owner per list, but multiple people can edit the list. You can invite others to edit your list, as long as they have a profile in MUR, by choosing 'Invite list publishers' from the 'Edit' menu.

You can also change the assigned list owner (eg. when a new Unit Coordinator has taken over the unit).

  1. Navigate to the list you want to change owners for.
  2. From the 'Edit' menu, click on 'Assign list owner'.
  3. Start typing a name or email address and select to assign the owner.

Publish your list

Once you've arranged and organised your list, you will need to publish your list so that students can see the most recent changes.

  1. Click the 'Publish' button at the top of the right column.

If you have printed material in your list that need digitisation, you'll need to submit a request.
