The reading list options menu offers several ways to customize a list:

'Edit list' lets you change your list's name, add a description of the list, add a link to the syllabus, and/or upload the syllabus:

Unpublish: by clicking "Unpublish", instructors make the list invisible to students.

Lock List: lock the list so no one (instructors, TAs, library staff) can change the list:

Unlock List: Only the person who locked the list can unlock it:

List info: Displays or hides an overview of the list information, including the List name or title, whether it is [un]published and [in]active, the number of items and sections, the List description (if you added it), instructors, and collaborators:

View list as a student: Check if access to all resource materials is available to students. It is important to note that the Student View in ICON does not affect the reading lists in Course Materials+. To see what the list looks like from the student's perspective, it is necessary to use this option in Course Materials+. Once you click "View list as a student" a bar will appear at the top of your reading list. On the left, you will see an icon with "Student View" - on the right, you will see "Back to instructor view":

Remember to click "Back to instructor view" or you will be unable to edit your list.

At the citation level, several fields can be edited and/or added. Some fields are specific to certain types of citations (for journal articles, there is a field to add the journal title and volume, for example), and others are available in other citations. The following fields are available in all:

• "Hide from students" makes a specific resource invisible to students by checking the box to the left of this option. Unchecking the box allows students to engage with the resource.
• "Note for students": lets instructors communicate with students about specifics related to that citation, like if students will need the resource for a test.
• "Due Date": instructors can use this field to let students know when they will need to have read, watched, or engaged with a resource on the list.
• Tags are added to citations to inform Libraries' staff of Course Reserve loan periods and purchase request needs. It also helps students identify resource priorities:
  • Priority tags: Essential, Recommended, and Optional
  • Loan Period tags: 1-Day Loan, 3-Day loan, 2-Hour loan, and 4-Hour loan
  • Purchase Request tags: Electronic Item Purchase Request, Physical Item Purchase Request
  • Students cannot see purchase requests
