Course Reserves terminology

  • Course: An instance of a course offered at Duke and using reserves. One course is created, even if the course is crosslisted.

  • Reading list: The list of items that are on reserve for the course, including physical and electronic items. The reading list can be created by library staff in Alma or by faculty in Leganto or by some mix of the two.

  • Citation: The item that is on reserve for the course. A reading list has one or more citations. A course can have one or more reading lists, depending on how it is structured and how the faculty member wants to use Leganto.
