Integrating Library Resources into Canvas

Helpful Tips

All course reserve requests start by filling out and submitting the Faculty Course Reserve Request Form.  

  • This form is used to put physical books, eBooks, DVDs and other media on reserve for students.

***Pro-tips***

  • If the Library does not own the material, this same form can be used by faculty to request materials to be purchased for course reserves.
  • Send your requests in as soon as you can so the library can start the process. E-books are the fastest to acquire and process, but it is best to give us as much lead time as possible so we can meet your requests.
  • Refer to the Library's streaming media databases to find online content that you can embed directly into your Canvas course. 
  • If you can't find what you're looking for, submit a request using the Faculty Course Reserve Request Form and the Library will try to locate what you need in an accessible format. Use the form for streaming media requests, too.
