Share shelfs with other users
It would be great if a user could have multiple shelfs and share shelfs with other users. Sharing both journals and specific articles. For example: A professor could compile a shelf for a specfic masters course and share it with the students.

We will be moving ahead with sharing Articles via the forthcoming “Reading List” feature. However, Sharing a “shelf” is still something we are considering the best options for. Will keep you posted!

The last time there was an update was in 2018. Has there been any consideration of this idea?

Being able to share customized bookshelves would be a helpful feature that would complement and work well with other library tools commonly used.

I wholeheartedly support the development of this feature. At the University of Manchester Library we've had academics asking us about the possibility of creating a shared bookshelf or journal list that they can use to share with their students.

I am a librarian and would like to be able to put together bookshelves of journals for particular subjects/units and then have some way to share these with students.
I think this idea should be moved up the 'to do' list for Third Iron. -
Hi Kathrine,
Not yet - it seems there are a variety of use cases and implementation concepts around this. I'll contact you directly to learn more about your particular interest in this. Thank you!

Has anything come of this suggestion? I would like to be able to share a list of My Articles with a specific group of users on a periodic basis.

I support this suggestion because we would like to use this feature to promote newly acquired journal titles.
