Library support for courses and your students

Integrate library readings and content into Canvas

Use Libraries search and other library databases to search millions of items, including articles, online books or chapters, streaming video, and more. You can link directly to these materials in Canvas or other course sites. 

Our staff can put together your readings, digital reserves, library resources, and course materials on a “Library Course Page” included on all Canvas course sites. We can help you add materials and customize your page.

Support students doing research

Use our library course and subject guides — which have recommended resources for classes and contact information for librarians.

Our librarians and curators can meet with your students in class via Zoom, or record a custom video for asynchronous instruction. We help students create a plan for their course projects, find research materials, and evaluate information for relevance.
