The UVic Libraries Course Reserves online platform is an interactive, student facing reading lists system that allows instructors to build reading lists for students and manage, edit, and update them in one place.
Reading lists include learning materials that have been made available by your course instructor. They may include books, articles, websites, videos and more. Furthermore, we have integrated Course Reserves with Brightspace. The poster highlights the benefits of using the Course Reserves platform.

Publishing workflow
These five steps must be completed to successfully publish your reading list:
- Make a reading list. You can create a list from scratch, roll over a list from a previous term, or ask the library to create a list from your syllabus.
- Add items to your list (e.g., articles, eBooks, websites, etc.).
- Edit the list. You can add, edit, or delete items from your reading list at any time.
- Publish the list to make it available to students. The library will review items that need copyright clearance.
- Share the list with students via Brightspace > Course Tools > Course Reserves or via a link.
