You may want to preview the Reading List as a student before publishing.

To View List as a Student

  1. Go to the Reading List Menu on the left > select Reading List you want > click the ellipsis “...” on the right of the list title > View List as a Student.
  2. While DRAFT lists may be previewed by instructors, they are not accessible to students. You will see the alert below when you preview a list before it is published. 

 

Associate

If you did not previously associate your Reading List to a course, you will need to do that now so it is published and visible to students.

 

Select Manage Course Association from the ellipsis and choose the correct course association.

If you want to customize readings for different sections or courses, select Duplicate list to create a copy.

 

 

Publish

                            

Once you’ve previewed your list as a student and confirmed association with a correct course, click Publish.

After you have published your list, you will see the list status change from DRAFT to PUBLISHED.

Note: Physical items and some e-resource requests require additional library processing that may take from several hours to a few weeks. When these items are ready for students' use, their status will change to COMPLETE. The library staff will communicate with you throughout the process.

 

After you have published your list, your students will be able to access the Readlng List via the left side menu..
