Reading Lists is a tool in Canvas where students can obtain course readings provided by instructors.
It works best with Chrome or Firefox browsers, not Apple Safari.

Getting Started with Reading Lists

The Georgia Tech Library offers a tool called Reading Lists from Leganto as part of its Course Reserves service. Reading Lists allows you to add Georgia Tech Library resources, web resources, and your own documents to a single place in Canvas. Students will find all of their course materials in one place.
