Reading lists are used by teaching staff across UTS to deliver required and recommended subject resources to students.

As part of an improved digital experience (including a soon-to-launch new Library website), UTS Library has implemented a new list management system, called Reading Lists. Replacing the UTS Digital Resources Register (DRR), the new system simplifies list management, as well as digitisation and Reserve Collection requests.

Teaching staff and others who use reading lists can get started creating their lists from today - read on to learn more.
