Library Resources for Canvas

This guide is available to assist instructors with utilizing library resources in Canvas.

UC Libraries in Canvas

This guide will assist instructors with integrating library resources into their courses, allowing students to access and engage with the library no matter the format of class.

If you have questions, please contact your librarian.

Librarian Role

Librarians should be enrolled into a course in a way that identifies to the students the role they serve in the course while limiting what course information librarians can access. This can be done using the Librarian Role.

Benefits of utilizing the Librarian Role in Canvas:

  • Students see the librarian with the correct title instead of TA, Instructor, etc., which can cause confusion
  • Librarians are unable to assign or view grades
  • Librarians will still be able to assist with incorporating library resources in courses 

*Note: Before adding a librarian to any course, please be sure to contact your library liaison.*
