Finding your Resource List 
There are two ways to find your Resource List, either through your module in GCULearn or by searching 
on the Resource Lists homepage. 
 
GCULearn 
1) In your module in GCULearn, click on the Resource List link on the menu on the left-hand side 
of the screen. 
2) If your lecturer has sent your list to the library, you will be taken directly to it. If they have not, 
you will see a message letting you know there is no list for your module. 
 
Resource Lists at GCU homepage 
1) Go to https://gcu.alma.exlibrisgroup.com/leganto/readinglist/searchlists 
2) You may be prompted to log in with your university domain username and password. 
3) In the search box, type in your module title, module code, or lecturers name, and click search 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Using Resource Lists 
The icons at the top of your Resource List will help you change the list view, search for items and filter 
the list by importance level or by resource type. 
View sections allows you to change the list view. It will switch the view from the full 
expanded list to just the section headings. Click on a section heading to view the citations in 
a section. 
View items allows you to change the list view back to the full expanded list, showing each 
citation. 
 
 
 
Getting Started with Resource Lists at GCU 
This quick guide is for students and will show you how to: 
• Find your Resource List 
• View your list, search for items on a list and manage your reading 
• Export your Resource List as a bibliography 
More information on Resource Lists at GCU including a video tutorial is available on the Library 
website: www.gcu.ac.uk/library/onlineresources/resourcelistsstudents/ 
Why can’t I find a Resource List for my module? 
Not all modules have had a Resource List submitted to the library yet. If there is not a Resource 
List available for your module, please ask your lecturer to use the Library’s Resource Lists service.

 Filter allows you to view the list by either sections, tags, or resource type. 
 
 
Search allows you to look for specific items on your list. 
 
 
Resource List Citations 
Resource citations on your list will look like this:
  
 
 
When you click on a citation, you will see:  
• Links to any online version(s) if the citation is an ebook, journal article or other online 
resource. 
• For online resources, you will see the Mark as broken function when you hover over a 
link. You can use this to report any broken links to the library. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
You will see: 
• The importance level of the item as set by your lecturer (either Essential, 
Recommended or Further Reading) 
• If it is a print item, you will see what campus they are available at and where in the 
library they are located. 
• If the item is an online resource, you will see a View online link which will take you 
directly to the resource. 
• You may also see a note from your lecturer about the resource (e.g. “Read Chapters 1, 3 
and 6”)

• If the citation is for a print book, you will see information about how many copies there are 
available and where in the library it is located. You will also be able to place a hold on any 
items that are currently on loan. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Exporting your Bibliography 
You can export your Resource List as a bibliography in a number of formats. If you export your list to 
Word, you can also choose which citation style to use. To export your list: 
1) Click on the Resource List options button (three dots) which is located to the right 
 of the Resource List title. 
2) Click Export list then click on your desired export 
format. If you wish to export to RefWorks or other 
reference management systems, use the RIS file 
option.

to choose a bibliography style. Pick your style from 
the dropdown menu and then click Export. 
 
It is worth noting that if you are exporting the 
Harvard reference style, you will need to review this 
as it is not British Standard Harvard.
