If your course uses a digital textbook on the RedShelf platform, follow these steps to make the tool link available: 

1. Locate the tool link in the left navigation menu. Click on the arrow to the right of the the RedShelf link to access the tool link edit menu.

 

2. Click Show Link to change the availability of the tool for users.  



3. The RedShelf platform will open in a new tab in the browser when accessed through the navigation menu. 




Your view in the RedShelf tool will include any e-texts associated with all your active courses.
