(124 lists)User Created Reading Lists
These Reading Lists have been created by users of the OLL website for a variety of purposes. Some have been created by professors and teachers for use in their classes and courses. Others are lists of someone’s favorite books. What they have in common is that users can create their own customized reading lists of material which is on the OLL website and make these lists publicly available on the OLL website for their students or friends to access and use.
