Adding a Librarian to Your Canvas Course: Home

Why Should You Add a Library to your Canvas Course?

In Canvas, you can add your Subject Librarian to your course in the Librarian.  This role allows your librarian to view, add, and modify content, as well as interact with your students.

This allows Librarians to:

• Add library-related content to your course, such as video tutorials and self-paced research modules
• Interact with your students
• Provide feedback and assign grades related to library-based assignments. It does not give them access to the overall course Gradebook.
