Course Reserves for the School of Social Work

At BU, some instructors choose to use a "course reserves" systems which makes your readings, films, or other materials available in one place for you. This means you do not need to purchase your own access to these materials.

This guide will cover accessing materials and fixing any issues you may encounter.

Leganto is the tool we use at BU to reduce the need for purchasing expensive textbooks! It connects you to the resources you need for classes, without needing to purchase or access them independently. This will let you access electronic books and articles, websites, videos, and other content your instructor has assigned.

How to Access Course Readings:

• Check with your instructor: Ask if a reading list is already set up for your course.
• Visit the Course Reading Lists page: Find the reading list for your class.
• Access from anywhere: Review materials on your computer, tablet, or smartphone.
