Colour coding importance tags
Importance tags are an important way of indicating to students what their reading expectations are. We are encouraging list creators to reduce the number of sections in their lists and combine essential and background readings into single sections, using the importance tag. The tags are the same colour regardless of the criteria.
We would like to suggest a means of colour-coding tags so it is visually clearer to the student what the importance of a reading is, e.g., an essential reading could be customised with a green importance tag; a background could be customised with an orange importance tag. Each library makes that decision based on an available colour palette in the customisation area. If you think this is an idea you would benefit from, please upvote! Thanks!

This would be very helpful for us at Manchester.

Different colours could be used to differentiate and emphasise the various tags we have created.
