• Get direct access to full-text articles and information about the books on the library shelves.
• Add direct links to articles and digital resources.
• Automatically format display styles and individual elements in the references.
• Collaborate on creating the reading lists.
• Get a better overview of the students' use of the reading lists and communicate with them.
• Facilitate simple and more orderly communication between all parties involved.
