How to understand your reading list in Leganto
A Leganto reading list consists of sections and references.
Sections
Select "View sections" to see how the reading list is divided into sections. Some programs differentiate between required reading and recommended reading.
References
At the top you will see how many references the list contains in total.
A reference describes the different types of teaching materials to be found in your reading list. Most commonly these will be books, book chapters, journal articles and websites. Material type will always be shown at the beginning of each reference.
Click the reference for a more detailed view, and added extra information.
It is important to note what exactly you are supposed to read. Which pages or chapters that are compulsory reading you will see at the top of the window below, described as "Page range" or as "Note".
How to access the syllabus literature
The required reading materials usually consist of a mix of digital texts and physical books.
Students are expected to obtain their own course literature.
Digital Course Texts
If the course text (reference) is available electronically, the text "View online" will be visible. The text will either be attached as a PDF file or accessible online via a link. Click on "View online" and select the database/source you want to use to open the article/resource.
What if I am denied access?
Students and faculty members at INN have access to electronic resources subscribed to by the library, even when using other networks than the campus network.
If you are using a network other than that at INN, you will be prompted to log on with Feide to gain access to these electronic resources.
Buy curricular books
Borrow curricular books
The library has a limited number of copies of the required textbooks. Some copies can be borrowed for home use, while others can only be read at the library.
Check if the books are available at the library
The reading list in Canvas is linked to the library's search tool, Oria.
Click on "Available at Universitetsbiblioteket" to see where the book can be found on the shelves, and/or whether there are copies available for loan.
'Lenker & tilgjengelighet' will show you if and where the book is available. If the book is available at your campus, please visit the library and pick up the book yourself. Otherwise you may request it.
Purchasing second-hand books
With a little bit of luck, you can buy second-hand curricular books. Make sure to buy the correct edition.
How to view reading lists if not affiliated INN?
Anyone may view a reading list, but if you are not a student or faculty member of INN, access to full-text resources or digitised material will not be available to you.
