Get Started

The Libraries offer two different ways to create Reading Lists. 

• Self-Service Model (Preferred): Most flexible. You add your own reading list, files, links, and library resources. The Libraries will complete any digitization requests you have, very that links work correctly, and move any books to reserves.
  • To start, follow the instructions below to add Reading Lists to your Moodle course.
  • Use the instructions on this Guide to create your Reading List
• Assisted Model: The Libraries will create the list for you. This option gives you less control over the Reading List. We will complete digitization requests and move books to reserves.
  • To start, complete the Course Reserves request form.
  • The Libraries will email you with any issues as well as instructions to add the Reading List to your Moodle course.

If you need additional assistance, please email UserServices@adelphi.edu.
