Most of the time when adding an electronic resource to a list, the citation status will automatically set to 'Complete'. However, when adding eReserve and Print Reserve items, these items won't automatically set to 'Complete'.
To ensure new requests are processed and existing readings are visible to students, follow the advice below.
Change a status

To change a status to 'Complete', choose the ellipsis (...) menu for the resource and select 'Set complete' from the options. Note: only citations with available links should be set to complete.
