#TitleUser StoryImportanceNotes
1Add resources to list from Primo searchInstructor can search Primo to find books and articles to make part of the reading list.Primary
  • Physical materials discovered via this search will need to alert library staff to place item on reserve
  • Links to e-resources that expire will need to directed to library staff to place item on e-reserve or else users will wind-up at dead-end or ILL.
2Add resources to list from manual entryInstructor can manually add resources through a web formPrimary
  • Metadata should be sufficient to identify the resource via an openURL or with a direct link
  • Instructor may enter a direct link to a subscription resources, so will need to add proxy link
  • Should support databases as well as typical book, article, video, etc.
3Add resource to list from already saved resoruces4resourcesInstructor may elect to copy an existing list or add resources they have previously discovered to a new list.Primary
  • This is relatively simple by-product of the above requirements.
4Add resources by exporting from PrimoInstructor may already have items saved or discovered via Primo. This feature would allow them to export the item to the reading list.Secondary
  • Not critical for initial release
  • Will likely have to hack this into Primo using AngularJS
5Organize and manage listInstructor should be able to organize the list into sections (e.g., by week or assignment) and add, order, and delete resources within each section. Instructor will also need to annotate each item.Primary
  • This should be drag-and-drop
  • Accessibility alternative a must
6Add same list to multiple coursesInstructor may elect to use the same reading list in multiple courses, and so we need to distinguish users from each courseSecondary
  • Could get away with a single course to list assignment in the beginning
57Instructor and co-instructor rolesInstructor has ability to edit the list, but teaching assistants or librarians should have limited, secondary role invite co-instructor or librarian(s) to be able to edit the reading listSecondary
  • Not critical for initial release
  • Secondary roles should be able to recommend resources, which may be primary purpose of librarian role.
8SharingInstructor can elect to make their list public, allowing other users of the system to see and adopt their listSecondary
  • Not critical for initial release
789


9Usage reportsInstructor can view how many and which users have viewed each item in the reading listSecondary
  • Not critical for initial release
  • Export stats in CSV
  • Secondary roles (librarian, co-instructor) should be able to view this too

User interaction and design

...

Below is a list of questions to be addressed as a result of this requirements document:

QuestionOutcome
What should we call this application?
Should the instructor start their interaction with the system outside the LMS?
How best to expire, roll-over courses from term to term?
How much local branding should we support?
