Publish your list
Publishing your list sends the list to the library for processing and also makes the list available to the students in the course.*
1. To publish a list, click My list is ready
2. You will see a message stating that the reading list has been published, and you will see a pink Published status to the right of the list title.
Anything you add to the list after publishing will be automatically sent to the library to be processed.
* You will also have to add the course reserves module to D2L so your students can access the list. The list is not available to students until you make your D2L course site available to them.
View list as student
As you build and organize your course reserves list, review the list using the View list as a student option to ensure that notes, links, and uploaded files are displayed correctly.
- To view your course reserves list as a student, go to the List Menu via the ellipsis located to the right of the list name, then select View list as a student.
Share links to items, sections, or your list
Shareable links can be used anywhere, but will expire at the end of your course. You can share links to:
- An item in your course reserves list
- a section of your course reserves list
- or your course reserves list
You can use these links in news announcements and in emails to students enrolled in your course, other instructors, or library staff.
Click on the Share icon and click Copy sharable link.
Note: If you want to embed links in D2L that will remain active in future quarters, see: Add durable links to items, sections, or your list.
