Reading Lists (Leganto)

Access Reading Lists via your web browser

You can go directly to the reading lists platform (Leganto) to work on multiple course lists or add items to a personal collection. Log in using your FGCU SSO credentials (email and password). 

Access Reading Lists in Canvas

Reading Lists are available to integrate to any Canvas course. To view and work on lists in Canvas, you need to first enable the Reading List element in your Canvas courses. Once you have enabled the Reading List in Canvas, you'll be able to view and work on your lists in Canvas.

Create a new list

If you enable reading lists in Canvas and there no reading list associated with your course already you will see a screen like this:

When you click "Create new list" you will be taken through the steps to create a new list associated with this course. You'll give the list a name and a description if desired. You will be able to select from a list of templates with pre-built sections for organization (which you can change later). And then you will be able to start adding items to your list.

Work with an existing list

If a reading lists already exists for your course because the library has added course reserves or textbooks owned by the library, the list will appear in Canvas if you enable it. After you add the reading list element to the course navigation and click on it, the list will automatically appear. Make sure the list is published if you want students to be able to see it. You can continue to add items to this list however you would like using the blue "Add" button.
