The BC Libraries’ Course Resources tool in Canvas is designed to help instructors work with the library to incorporate material in their courses. Instructors can use the tool to build reading lists that include books, chapters, articles, and videos owned by the library, and free web resources, podcasts, and more.
Benefits:
This page contains instructions to help you get started. For individualized help with choosing resources, contact your subject librarian.
Start in Canvas. If your Canvas site is not yet available, use the direct access.
You can create a new list from scratch or re-use an existing list.
Lists are rolled over from year to year based on course code, section, and term. You may see lists that do not belong to you. Feel free to ignore lists you do not want. 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 My list is ready, after which the list will be visible to your students and the library will start working on the list.
Click "Lists" to view and search for lists from different classes or semesters.
Collaborators can help manage or edit your list. To add a TA, Designer, or Librarian to your list, click List info at the top, then Manage collaborators. Enter a name or full BC email address (firstname.lastname@bc.edu).
If you do not find a name, add the person to your Canvas course as a TA or Designer. Once added to your course, they will appear on the list of collaborators to invite.
To change a person's role from a Collaborator (Can edit list) to an Owner (Can manage list), select Manage collaborators and use the drop-down list.
