What is a shareable link?

A shareable link is a link to a reading list citation or section, anywhere in your Canvas site. 

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.
