The Libraries are pleased to announce that instructors will have access to a new course reserves system starting with the Fall 2025 semester. Based on the Leganto platform, it will offer a simplified approach to building reading lists for students to use.
We appreciate your patience during this transition and encourage you to revisit this page for updates as the semester approaches.
We know you probably have some questions about these changes. Here are some responses to common queries about the latest changes.
Our teams plan to make the platform available after July 15th. Summer courses will continue to use the form-based system that we have been employing as a stop gap system this past year. A formal announcement will go out to faculty when a concrete “go-live” date has been set.
Anyone listed as an instructor for a course will have access to the new system through Web Campus. We are working on instructions to guide you through the process of ensuring that the system is active for your course, so stay tuned!
If you happen to see the new functionality in your course before the system launch, please refrain from using it until we go live. We want to make sure that instructors have all of the information they need to use the platform properly. Additionally, we are busy migrating a large amount of content behind the scenes. Your experience will be considerably better if you wait for these processes to be completed.
Yes! We will be offering training. Instructions will also be added to this page as they are drafted. Keep an eye on your email for information about these resources as they become available.
Yes! Our teams are migrating reading lists for courses that have used our systems from 2021 to 2025. This includes over 40,000 reading list items, from streaming media and ebooks, to scanned items and physical materials.
