Course Reserves reading lists in Canvas

Are you teaching Fall Quarter? Did you know Course Reserves reading lists can now be submitted via Canvas? Use this newly integrated system to:

• Create your reading list and send it to the library;
• Indicate if you’ll be providing personal copies;
• Add notes for the library, students or yourself;
• Link directly to electronic content; and
• Track in real-time the progress of materials being placed onto course reserves.

Both you and your students can access this list directly from the Canvas course site.

Getting started:

• To get started, check out our quick-start guide.
• Attend one of the drop-in sessions listed below.
• Instructional videos and frequently asked questions are available for more details.

Does someone else submit your reading list?

Individuals who are set up as a “Teacher” or “TA” for a course are authorized to submit a course reserves reading list for that course. To enable someone else to submit your reading lists, follow the instructions in our quick-start guide to add them to the course as a “Designer.”
