Reuse a Reading List

Reusing a Previous Course Resource List

Faculty members can reuse a course reading list from a previous term by selecting "Select Existing List" after launching Leganto. Once selected, you’ll have the option to update and modify the list as needed.

Steps to Reuse a List in Your Brightspace Course:

1. Login to your new Brightspace course site and connect Leganto to your course.
2. Launch Leganto and when Prompted, click on “Select existing list” from the reading lists options.

Choose the course list to reuse. You have two options:

• Duplicate the List: Creates a new, independent copy of the list specifically for this course.
  • This allows you to make changes without affecting the original list or any other course linked to it. 
• Link Course to the List: Associate the existing list with your new course. This method connects your course to the list without creating a new copy.
  • Any changes you make will impact all courses the list is associated with since they are sharing a copy.

• Finalize and Create the List:

  After choosing to link or duplicate, review the list settings and click "Create List."

• Important Note:

  • When prompted, you’ll see the question: "Do you want sharable links to the original list to redirect to the duplicated list once it is published?"
  • Choose “No” if you are still actively using the original list (e.g., in a current course).
  • Choose “Yes” if you are reusing an older list from a previous course that is no longer running.

After completing these steps, library staff will check over your list and make sure it is ready to use.
