Be aware that material made available on ResearchGate and other sites like Academia.com has a variety of copyright conditions applying to it, and these sites leave the decision making to the user. Unless it is explicitly stated that the author is the copyright owner and allows sharing, or the article is marked as open access, it will not be possible to include in a reading list. This is true even if there is no barrier to downloading the pdf file.  You may be able to read a personal copy for research, but you are in breach of copyright if you download and add to a reading list. 

If you want students to access an article that we do not have in our current subscriptions, please contact your liaison librarian to help you find a copy that meets copyright conditions for access.
