Rolling over a Reading List allows you to reuse a Reading List from one semester to another. Due to copyright reasons, Reading Lists expire at the end of the semester the same way traditional course reserves do. Rolling over a Reading List resubmits the materials request to the Library, which then restarts the necessary processing. 

Tags, permanent links, and public notes will copy over. Due dates and student discussions will reset. 

Repeat steps Adding a Reading List to Canvas.
