Anything else you think we should know: If no guide exists for your class, a general library guide will populate. Librarians check this setting regularly to see what guides we may need to create for classes or programs.


Tip #1: Add Library Guides in Canvas

Canvas allows you to activate a library guide to populate in your course site!

  1. In Settings, under Course Details, check your Course Code and enter the information as the course abbreviation and number for best results.
  2. Then, under Navigation, activate the Library Guide

Librarians regularly check this information, and it helps us determine whether a guide may be needed in cases where a class does not have an exact match to a course guide.

Contact your subject librarian with any questions you have. You can also add a subject librarian to your Canvas course site, using the Librarian Role.

Shows the Settings page in Canvas and where to find Course Detials and Navigation.
