After your reading list appears, select the citations you would like to integrate into your Canvas page by clicking the checkbox on the left-hand side. You are able to select multiple citations at a time.

The bottom toolbar has two options listed called "Link label" and "Bibliography style." "Link label" refers to the name of the link that will open a full view of the citation in your Library Course Materials Page in a new tab. This label can be edited. "Bibliography style" refers to the style the citation will be displayed.
