One-click to Library Content from Reading Lists on Moodle

(Issue 163/March 2021)

Students can get direct access to the Library content they need to do their work without separately login to SearchPlus, while staying on Moodle. Sound easy?

Behind the scenes, the Library has been collaborating with faculty members continuously to build links to connect the titles on reading lists from Moodle to the Library catalogue. So far, the service has been set up for over 60 courses in subject areas of Asian studies, Chinese language, accounting, banking, finance, management, journalism, communication, mathematics, statistics, art and design.

Faculty members are most welcome to contact the Library to have the service set up to make their course readings easy to find.
