ORLO Show and Tell sessions

View the recording of our ORLO Show and Tell session (SSO required) Access the Q&A from the PDF beneath this box.

The ORLO team demonstrated our new reading list system in both ‘List Owner’ and ‘Student’ views.
This event is intended for: Academics, Administrators and Library Staff who use ORLO to support their students and are interested in viewing the new Leganto interface. It is not intended for students who access lists, and it will not demonstrate library review processes, which will be covered in later training. 
 

 

Welcome to ORLO

ORLO is the online reading list tool integrated into Canvas, which supports inclusive teaching provision across the University of Oxford. From these lists, students can directly access electronic resources, scanned extracts and see the live library availability of their course reading materials. ORLO benefits students, academics and librarians alike; please see the guide below to learn how setting up an ORLO list for your course could have a positive impact on teaching and learning. 

Please see the various pages of this LibGuide for further details on Admin and List Creation, Bookmarking, Canvas, Digitisations, Inheriting an ORLO list, Rollover and Training.
