Answer
Reading recommendation lists can be created and emailed to specific students through the Oliver OPAC:
- Log into the Oliver
OPAC
- Search for a book that you want to recommend
- If you are in the tile view, click ‘Select’ next to the chosen book cover; if you are in the list view, tick the box next to the chosen book cover
- Click ‘View’ (button with the eye)
- Repeat the search, select and view steps to add additional books to your catalogue
- When your list is complete click on the ‘Email’ button
- Enter the student’s email address (you can add more than one email address by separating them with a semi-colon)
- Change the subject to ‘Recommended Reading’ or something similar
- Edit the first sentence of the message if you want to make it more personal
- Click ‘Save’ and the email will be sent
- To clear the selected results, click on the ‘Empty My Catalogue’ button
NB: In Orbit, only one resource can be emailed at a time by clicking on a title in the search results
