Canvas Faculty Guide: Adding Library Resources

Library-Created Instructions Faculty Can Import from the Commons

The Library team has created Technology and Research modules/pages that instructors can find in the Canvas Commons area to preview and then import into their courses.  As instructions change each year, the Library team will make updates so instructors just need to accept the updates in their Primary courses before each session.

An easy way to see all the content is to click the Commons button on the left side Commons icon, then search for "library".

Adding Commons Content to Your Course

Click on the blue title of the Commons content to preview the module or page.  Then click Import/Download to add it to your course(s). You can choose courses from the list that appears or search for specific courses.
