Leaving comments in Library Discussion
Leave a comment on the item in the Library Discussion if you would like the library staff to take action. For example, the item should be placed in course reserve collection or extra copies of the title are recommended. Students will not be able to see this part.
The library staff will also respond to your comment in Library Discussion. You will be alerted by the Notification on the left panel of ReadingList@HKUL to read the new comment. Comment can either be left on an item under Library Discussion or on the reading list level.
Student Discussion
Students can leave comments or post questions on the entire reading list or a citation in Student Discussion. You will be notified when a comment is posted.
You may also choose to disable the Student Discussion function by clicking on the elipsis button and choosing Configure list discussions and then selecting Hide student discussion thread.
Notifications
