While the details of each reading can be customised in Leganto to better reflect academic referencing standards, the citations in Leganto will not necessarily adhere to APA format or style.
Students can be referred to Referencing at Charles Sturt for guidance on how to reference or to the Academic Skills Team for more comprehensive or specialised referencing advice.
Does your subject have a prescribed, recommended or highly recommended textbook? If a prescribed text section does not already exist at the top of your reading list, create a 'New Section' for the subject textbooks at the top of the reading list so that students can easily locate them. Use Primo Search to locate each resource and add it to the section. See, Use Primo Search.
You can also Use Cite It! to add the Library's eBook Etiquette video to your reading list to help students use e-textbooks.
Our eBook collection provides free access to textbooks for your students. By adding the e-textbook to your Readings and Resources list, students can refer to it throughout session and you can gather some data about the students' usage of the resource.
To ensure students know how to get the most out of their e-textbook for their studies, add the following text as a public note to eBook or eBook chapters throughout a list.
This eBook may have limited concurrent user access. See our eBook Etiquette video for more information: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EyCOgn3tGY
Students can also be referred to the Library's eBooks guide and the Using eBooks Online Library Workshop (live sessions and recordings available) for additional support.
We recommend naming your reading list consistently with the name of the subject according to Charles Sturt's Subject Handbook. This will mean that the list is clearly titled and consistent for the students.
For example:
If the descriptions of paired subjects differ, use the naming convention above to determine a reasonable alternative list title.
Add all teaching and support staff as managing collaborators of the reading list. This might include academic staff teaching other cohorts, or teaching/learning support staff. Managing collaborators will be able to add, edit and delete resources as required; and will aid the process of reusing the reading list in future sessions. See, Add collaborators & Reuse an existing list.
Our Librarians are strategically embedded in some subjects throughout a course to support the development of student information and research literacy skills.
An embedded Librarian may create a Research Skills Guide, a library skills recorded demonstration or facilitate a live class for the cohort. These support resources can be linked into a Leganto Reading and Resources list for students to locate easily among their other subject resources. You can even create a new section to showcase these tailored resources.
Research Skills Guides are available on the Library website. Open the guide for your subject and follow the instructions on the Use Cite It! page to add the resource. To add a recording of a library session, use the instructions on the Use Blank Form page and paste the URL to the recording in the 'Source' field.
One of the benefits of using Leganto, is that reading lists can be reused each session, so they only need to be created once.
Do not delete the list at the end of session. This will delete the list for all users and cannot be restored by Library staff. The eReserve team regularly archives lists that are no longer being used. If the Library archives a list, it can often be restored if required.
If you no longer need to be a collaborator of a list, use the Manage collaborators option to remove yourself from the list.
