If you had a library resource list from the past, it should appear in Course Resources under the LIST menu. Lists are rolled over from year to year. If the course, section, and term remain the same, then you should see your old list. If you do not, you can associate an old list with your current course.  Use the top menu and choose: Manage course association.  

In order for your list to be processed by the library, the list must be sent to the library. Click SEND TO LIBRARY, after which the link will read LIST SENT.  In order for the list to be visible to students in Canvas, we will change the status from DRAFT to PUBLISHED. 

1. Log into Canvas, pick your course, and click on Course Resources in the left-navigation or go directly to the Course Resources tool.
2. Choose + NEW LIST
3. In the Title field, add the name of your course. Use the same name that appears in Canvas.
4. Select a template - Default (blank) or Weekly. Templates provide an organizational structure for your list and can be edited. 
5. If you did not enter through Canvas or are not teaching the course for the upcoming semester, you will be asked to associate your list to a course. You can do that now or later.
6. You can then add a NEW SECTION and ADD ITEMS. Use Library Search to find items in the library collections or use the Cite It! bookmark to import citations from websites. You can also Create Your Own item or Upload a file. 

For the Fall 2022 semester, please note:

• If your reading list has rolled over from a past semester, make any changes and be sure to click the SEND TO LIBRARY button.
