Adding Collaborators to your Reading List

When you associate your course with several sections, the instructors for each section will automatically be added as a collaborator and as an instructor.

You can also add additional collaborators. This can be useful if you would like to share your list with another instructor. There will also be times when you need to add a librarian or library staff to your list to conduct copyright clearance or add new materials that have not been added to the library catalog EagleSearch.

 

If you would like to add an instructor, staff, or librarian to your list, select the arrow to expand the Collaborators tab.

Please add your librarian if you are going to request copyright clearance or request the library to purchase a new book for your course. 

Select Manage Collaborators
