Reading Lists - Guide to Creating and Editing a Reading List

Why publish your reading list?

Publishing your reading list:

  • Makes it visible to students when they access Canvas.
  • Alerts the Library to make sure new items or additional copies are ordered, broken links are fixed and other checks are completed.

Publishing your list

  1. When you create or rollover your reading list a pink banner appears at the top to alert you that it will not be visible to students and the Library will not process it until you click the Publish list button.

     
  2. Click the Publish List button to make the list visible to students and send it to the Library.


    You may wish to use the View list as a student link before publishing the list. This link in the banner disappears after the list is published but is always available from the ellipsis menu.
  3. If for any reason you need to unpublish your list, the option is also available from the ellipsis menu.

Making further changes or additions

You can add items or make changes to your list at any time after it is published.

There is no requirement to republish your list (unless you have 'unpublished' it) as the Library should be alerted automatically if there are changes that need attention.
