After you've added Course Materials+ to your ICON course, select it in the ICON menu and click on "Create new list".

 

The pop up window is prefilled with a list name. Please do not change the name of the list. Click on "Next":

 

Choose either 'Default' or 'Weeks' to create sections for your list.

• If you select 'Default' you will start with one section, but you can add more if needed.
• If you choose 'Weeks' it will start by showing you an 8 week outline, but you can change that number. You can relabel the sections, too. As an example, instead of saying 'Week 1...Week 2...' , you could create 'Required...Optional...Extra Credit' sections for your list.

 

• 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!
• Upload Files

 

• Place books on course reserves shelf
• Submit a Purchase Request directly from Course Materials+
• Request or Renew Streaming Media
• Request Digitization

Be sure to add loan period tags to physical items that need to be put on the shelf and purchase request tags on items we don't currently have available. You have to scroll down to see all the tagging options.

 

When you are ready you can send your list to the Libraries. When the list is received, Libraries staff can process the items that you requested to be placed on the course reserve shelf and any requests you made to have an item purchased or (or streaming license renewed.).

 

Please contact through the Course Materials+ Library Discussion feature or at lib-res@uiowa.edu if you have any problems with these steps.

Collaborators can do everything a list owner can do, except add other collaborators and delete the list. Potential collaborators could be:

• co-instructors
• TAs
• instructional designers
• liaison librarians and library staff

Please note: List collaborators need to be added to the list in Course Materials+ even if they already have an instructor/TA/designer role on ICON.

To add, view, and delete collaborators, click on the 'List info' link and choose 'Manage collaborators'.
