The Resource List tool has temporarily been made active again by Anthology (Blackboard) and all existing links should now be working. It is still advised that you replace these links with the new Talis Aspire Reading List link, as the old tool will not be available in future years.
Due to the deprecation of the Resource List tool by Anthology (Blackboard), you will need to replace the old links with the new Talis Aspire Reading Lists tool to access the reading lists from within your courses.
To replace a link in the left-hand menu in an Original course, click the ‘plus’ symbol at the top of the menu and choose ‘Tool Link’. “Talis Aspire Reading Lists” will appear within the drop-down menu. Once created, click the link to set up your reading list (you may be asked to authenticate the tool on first use); you will then see your reading lists and you will be able to add the required list to your course.

You can also add a link within the content area of your course via the ‘Build Content’ drop-down menu.

If you are using an Ultra course, you can find the Talis Aspire Reading Lists link under ‘Course Tools’.
