5.3.2. Sharing with an external person

It is also possible to share the contents of your reading list with people outside the VU. Because they cannot log in to VU Reading Lists, these people will not be able to take advantage of all the application's features, such as adding notes or bookmarks.

To share a reading list, use the View & Export menu in the reading list you want to share (see Figure 21 in Chapter 7). Here you will find options to share the list as a RIS file for use in reference managers, a CSV file, and two types of PDFs: as a simple list or in bibliographic format. You can customise the bibliographic output format in the Citation Style menu in the reading list, to the right of the table of contents (see Figure 19, for example).

After you have selected the format, the file will be downloaded and you can share it.
