You can add materials from your Library Course Materials page reading list directly in your Canvas pages, discussions, and assignments. This allows easier navigation for students while still collecting data on how they are engaging with the materials and ensuring reliable access.

To add a reading list item to a Canvas page, click Edit on an existing page, assignment, or discussion in the Canvas course menu. While editing, choose the Apps icon in the edit toolbar menu and then choose View All.

From the All Apps menu, select Library Course Materials - Import Citations.

After your reading list appears, select the citations you would like to integrate into your Canvas page by clicking the checkbox on the left-hand side. You are able to select multiple citations at a time.

The bottom toolbar has two options listed called Link label and Bibliography style.

Link label refers to the name of the link that will open a full view of the citation in your Library Course Materials Page in a new tab. This label can be edited.

Bibliography style refers to the style the citation will be displayed.

Click the Add button in the lower right-hand corner after selecting items to import.

Imported items will display on your Canvas page in edit mode. Choose Save or Save & Publish to save changes.

Items have now been successfully integrated into your Canvas page. Clicking View Item will open a new tab to view the citation in your Library Course Materials Page.

A second, simpler option for embedding specific items (or your entire reading list) into Canvas without the extra bibliographic formatting included above is to use the share tool in your reading list.

Navigate to your Library Course Materials page.

Click the Share icon next to the course list title, section title, or item title. Choose your desired link and follow your normal procedures for linking URLs from within your Canvas course using that link.

Using this method ensures that the links will be automatically updated with any changes made to your reading list and analytics remain accurate for your course.
