Creating a Reading List

It is from the Reading Lists interface that you can create a new reading list.

·To open this interface, select Tools / Reading Lists from the top of management.

·To begin creating a new Reading List, click New

A new box will open, allowing you to enter the details for this reading list

·Start by giving the reading list a Name and Description

·Select the Type of reading list you wish to create by selecting from the Type drop down

What you select from the Type drop down menu will change what shows on the Target tab. For example, if you choose "Year Group", you will be able to select available Year Groups that the reading list applies to. Should you select Individual, you will be able to select the individual borrowers it should apply to.

Note a reading list will only show for the borrowers you have targeted it at.

·Next, begin adding items to the new reading list. Click Add...

·Search for a resource that you wish to add to the reading list and click Select

·That resource will be added to the reading list

Notice that the book has been added to the Items. Repeat this process for all resources that you wish to add to the reading list

·Using the Target tab, you can specify the borrowers that the reading list will show for. The options that show on this tab will vary, depending on what you have selected from the Type drop down menu. In this example, Year Group has been selected so the target tab allows us to specify the year groups that the list applies to.

·Once you are happy with the settings on the target tab, click OK to save them

·Click OK on the Reading Lists box to save those settings also
