Adding a reading list to your Blackboard course menu

If you set up a Library Talis reading list for a module, you can add links to the Reading List to your Blackboard course:

  • Add a Reading List menu item – this links to the entire list.
  • Add a Reading List link as part of your course content from the “Build Content” options- you can add a link to the entire list or sections within it. For example, you may want to set up week by week sections to the reading list, or sections by topic.

See the Library guide to setting up a Reading list.
