Leganto reading list

Lecturer guide

Shareable links

Leganto allows you to create shareable links which you use in your Canvas site and link directly to a resource on Reading list.

There are conditions to be considered before using shareable links:

  • Shareable links can only be added and edited by lecturers in Canvas, library staff cannot do this for you.
  • Shareable links can only be rolled over when the teaching period has ended, and the course is not active.
  • Reading list with shareable links can only be rolled over once. This is because if reading list A is rolled over into reading list B, and rolled over a second time into reading list C, then shareable links will point to reading list C. Reading list B will miss out.

Create a shareable link

You can create a shareable link to a reading list citation or a section.

  1. From the reading list, open the top ellipsis menu for either the section or citation and click on ‘Create a shareable link’.

  2. A dialog box will open with the shareable link code for use in Canvas.
  3. Click 'Copy to clipboard'.
  4. Use the copied URL to create your link.
