About Course Readings & the Reading List Service
TRU Library offers both a Course Readings collection and a Course Reading List Service.
What are Course Readings?
Course readings are books and other materials placed on reserve in the Library by instructors for students to access.
- Loan periods for physical books in the Course Readings collection are 2 hours, 1 day, or 3 days, depending on instructor preference.
- Physical items are available to students on a first come first served basis from the Research Help Desk, 3rd floor, House of Learning during open hours. Electronic materials (such as ebooks) can be accessed online 24/7 via a link.
- Students can search for readings by course name, course number, instructor, or keyword via the link Course Readings, or by using the search box on the Library web page.
What is the Course Reading List Service?
The Library's Course Reading List Service gives instructors and students a single online access point for course reading materials while assuring copyright compliance.
- Instructors can add, edit, and customize course reading lists (similar to digital course-packs) which are accessible, free, and available to students 24/7.
- A course reading list can be easily integrated into a Moodle course but also resides on the Library Course Readings listing where students can browse by course name or number, instructor, subject area, etc.
