Within your reading list, click the ADD button and choose Import References - from File.
To upload a PDF file
When the File Type menu appears, choose References.
The references will be extracted from the PDF.
Choose a section, then click Add all items to add these items to your list.
NOTE: Imported items may not have links associated with them automatically. The library team can add links to these items; message the library if you would like assistance linking resources to your references. Items will appear as Library Processing until they have had links to resources associated with them.
