RedShelf, the platform for many digital textbooks, is a third-party tool link within the navigation menu of all Blackboard courses created since 3/1/2019. By default, it is hidden from student view.
If your course uses a digital textbook on the RedShelf platform, follow these steps to make the tool link available:
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.
