Course Guides
What are Course Guides?
Subject Librarians make customized online research course guides for your students that are tailored to your class and/or assignments.
Subject Librarians can add course guides they make to your Canvas sites when you add them as a participant in the role of university librarian.
With the Library Guide LTI, faculty can also activate the research course guide within Canvas by ensuring it is in the activated tools section under Settings.
How to Add Guide to Canvas
To enable this feature in Canvas, complete the following:
- Open Canvas and select your course.
- Click the "Settings" tab to the left.
- Find and select the "Navigation" Tab.
- Scroll through the list of options and find "Library Guide."
- After locating the "Library Guide," drag and drop it to the top list/things included in the course navigation.
Or you can also click the three dots and select "+Enable." Users can reorder activated items in the course navigation by dragging and dropping.
Course Reserves
Reserve Materials
Reserve materials are items assigned a restrictive loan period to assure greater availability to students who have need of them, usually within a limited time period. Faculty, librarians, or administrators may place materials on reserve in order to control or protect vulnerable materials and those in consistently heavy use.
