ORLO list owner training
ORLO (Oxford Reading Lists Online) is the platform to manage University online reading lists. Online reading lists can help students by giving access to online content, physical book locations, and copyright-cleared high-quality scans for print items. These training sessions will introduce attendees to the platform and enable them to edit and set up new lists in ORLO. It is primarily intended for those needing to get started on ORLO, but staff who need a refresher or training on the newest version of the ORLO software are also welcome.
This introductory session will cover everything you need to know to edit or create a reading list in ORLO. Subjects to be covered include:
Intended audience
Oxford academics, administrators and staff who need list editing permissions on ORLO.
Format
Online presentation and demonstration with plenty of time for questions.

Microsoft Teams
Provided by
Bodleian Libraries

Please note
This workshop is NOT intended for students unless you are also an employee who is working on ORLO lists.
