Instructors and librarians can add collaborators to reading lists to give the collaborators access to edit and manage lists. 

First, access your reading lists. You can either go directly to the reading list platform, or you can go through a reading list link in Canvas. To go directly to your reading lists, you can use the link provided on the search menu of the library homepage.

Sign in with your FGCU credentials.  Then you will see the lists you manage. Find the list you want to share with another person and click the title of the list to start editing. Click the List Info link at the top and then click on the "Manage collaborators" link .

Search for the person you want to add. Only those with instructor or librarian roles can be added as collaborators (this excludes students).If you want to be sure to give the person the ability to manage the list (make a copy, invite other collaborators, link to a course), click the drop down options next to the person's name to change the permissions to "List Owner." 

Anyone listed as a collaborator or owner of a list will be able to find that list in their main menu of reading lists when signed into the platform.
