When you roll over a course in Bright Space, if the original course already had a reading list attached to it, you will still see the Library Reading List external learning tool listed on the new course, but it will not still be linked to the reading list.
To link it to your old reading list, click the “Library Reading List” external learning tool.
When you click the PWL-Reading Lists link, there should be an option to Create list from an existing list.
A list will appear with every reading list that you have created or been listed as an instructor
You can search, sort, or filter the list
To search, you can search by list title, course title, course code, or course instructor
To sort, you can sort by date created (ascending and descending), last updated, list title (A-Z), and course year (descending).
To filter, you can filter by course status: active and inactive; publication status: published, draft, archived, deleted; and list type:sample list.
Once you find the reading list you would like to roll over, you have the option to: Link course to this list or Duplicate list. You should generally click "Link course to this list", as explained below.
Selecting Link course to this list will attach the old list to the new course. This is good because if the old list has already been approved and published in the past, it will not need to be approved by library staff again, and will be immediately available to your students. This also allows you to attach the same list to multiple sections of a course, or multiple courses, and any changes made to the reading list in one will be reflected in all the others.
Duplicating the list would make a new list copied from the old list. If any changes are made to the new list, they will not be reflected in the old list, and vice versa. So you would not want to do this for multiple sections of the same class, since you would have to do any updates multiple times, once for each duplicate. And since it is a new list, it will need to be approved by library staff, which can take days, so there will be a delay after you submit it for publication before the students can view it. And if you had added direct links to specific sections of the old reading list in the original Bright Space page for this course before rolling it over, those links will no longer work with the new duplicated list. You will have to manually go and update each link. Therefore when rolling over a course you should generally default to "Link Course to this list", not duplicating it. Of course, if you are simply using an old list as a basis for a completely different course, then you might want to duplicate and rename the new copy to match your new course.
Click link course to this list and select OK.
Your list will then appear in your Brightspace course.
You can still edit the list and make any changes you would normally make to a reading list. If you duplicated the list, the changes will only be reflected in the course list you are working on. If you linked the list, your changes will be reflected in all the linked courses.
Be sure that the list either says Published or Sent to library for processing. If not, click My list is ready.
