In Canvas, on your course page, click on "Course Readings" and click on the "Create it" button in the middle of the page.

Course Readings is an application/plug-in for Canvas that is a reading list management tool.  It enables instructors to easily collect citations, create and manage reading lists, automate workflow with the Library, and create a holistic user experience for students.

• Allows you to add citations from the web, library search, manually, or import from existing citation tools.
• Makes it easy for Instructors and/or librarians to collaboratively collect citations. Instructors can send citation requests to the Library, where librarians can reserve, acquire, license, and/or digitize the citations.
• After a list is published, students can easily view and access the citations related to their courses.

If you selected a template when creating the Course Readings list, your list will already have Sections, which are used to structure the Course Readings list. To add a new Section, just click the “New Section” button:

It is possible to make a list available for specific dates.
