• A module can be associated with multiple reading lists. This application imports module information from Brightspace. A reading list does not have to be associated with a module.
• A reading list can have multiple sections. Sections divide a list into logical or chronological groups, for example by module weeks or by mandatory versus supplementary material.
• A section can have multiple citations. Citations are book chapters, books, journal articles, videos, or any other material that the instructor wants to include as a resource for the students. Each citation is described by multiple metadata fields.

• Citations available for, or in, a reading list can also be collected in your personal repository, called My Collection. An item in My Collection is referred to as an item. The same item in a reading list is referred to as a citation.
