1. Within Course Materials+, click on "Create It" under "Create a new reading list from scratch".
   
2. The pop up window is prefilled with a list name. Click on "Create":
   
   
3. Select a template. The "Default" template has one section (you can add more if needed) and the 16 Weeks template has 16 sections, named Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, etc. To avoid having students scroll down unnecessarily, use the 16 weeks template when most of the sections (weeks) will be used.
   
4. Add Items
   • Add with Library Search (will search the Libraries catalog, Infohawk+)
   • Add from InfoHawk+ (add from the Libraries catalog, outside of ICON)
   • Add with Cite It!
   • Add with Upload a File (add files for documents that are not available through the Libraries)
   • Request a Purchase
5. Add loan period tags to all physical materials to be put on the course reserve shelf
   
6. Once all items have been added, publish the list to send it to the Libraries. When the list is received, Libraries staff can process the requests of items to be placed on the course reserve shelf and any requests for purchase.
