University of Liverpool
� Reading Lists @ Liverpool Iaunched in Sept 2013
� 1,700 lists at the outset
� Mostly imported from our previous ‘system’: catalogue records with a reading list field added
![Page 4: Academic engagement - Carole Rhodes University of Liverpool](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103014/54b48fda4a7959d6398b4854/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
A pre-populated system
� Current recommendations were solicited by email from module coordinators
� Lists were created/edited by Library Acquisitions staff
� Much easier to engage academics if some of the work has been done for them

Liaison Librarians
� Main channel of communication between the library and staff/students in academic departments.
� Other library staff, (e.g. on the desk) need to be up to speed to a certain extent, but can refer.

What should a reading list be?
� Just ‘library’ materials: books/journals?
� Encourage the debate
� If the academic owns the list, it’s up to him or her …
![Page 22: Academic engagement - Carole Rhodes University of Liverpool](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103014/54b48fda4a7959d6398b4854/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
To mandate or not to mandate …
� We decided not (for the moment at least)
� Depends on your institution
![Page 23: Academic engagement - Carole Rhodes University of Liverpool](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103014/54b48fda4a7959d6398b4854/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Web presence
� Reading Lists LibGuide used as homepage – for news, training materials etc.
� Ubiquitous links to reading lists

Training
� Module coordinators were invited to lunchtime training sessions. Staff signed up in advance via LibCal.
� A total of 6 workshops ran in December and February.
� 47 academic staff attended in total.
� 3 Liaison Librarians were in attendance each time.
� Training academic staff is nothing like training students!

I went to the workshop on the Library’s excellent Reading Lists @ Liverpool enterprise, a scheme that allows you to construct a reading list via the library site (but which is not limited to the library holdings and allows links to external resources to be added in one place, even letting media clips be inserted) which you can then link to your module VITAL site and by which students can access the catalogue, the resources and their availability as relevant, directly. It’s very impressive and, crucially, easy to use. I’d encourage you all to think about using it and if you need any help getting started I’ll do my best to assist.

Students seemed to react well to it: it’s visually more attractive than other available forms of listing we have used (e.g. within VITAL itself) and directly brings up much more relevant information (such as library stocks).
So I would say that student response has been positive so far, though I can’t say that I asked them specifically about this function — it was just there in the background.

Varied perspectives, different challenges
� Different subject areas have different priorities for their lists – Humanities and Social Sciences have longer lists and may need more support from the library.
� We need to figure out who is and who isn’t engaging and why.
� Liaison Librarians are the key, thanks to their knowledge of departments.

Advocates
� Our early adopters have been invaluable as advocates
� Academics are best placed to persuade their peers
