Discover@MU Reading List Maker is now up as an external tool in Canvas. Discover@MU is MU's branding of the EBSCO Discovery Services for the Libraries. This is the search engine that appears on the home page of https://library.missouri.edu. The app described here allows instructors to search for, organize, and deploy our library materials in Canvas modules using Discover@MU. This differs considerably from the Library Resources and LibGuides tools because those tools are designed to work with guides put together by MU subject librarians for classes and departments. Those materials cannot be directly edited instructors. Discover@MU Reading List Maker is designed for instructors to create and modify their library reading lists.
