Announcement: Course Resource Lists

Following the successful pilot with faculty and soft launch of Leganto on November 30th, 2021, we are pleased to announce that, as of the Spring 2022 term, library Course Reserves will be delivered directly into individual courses in Canvas, via a Course Resource List link.

Course Resource Lists is our new Course Reserves platform and collaborative tool that is located in Canvas and integrated with Educat+, our new library catalog. Among the benefits of the new platform are:

• Easy searching and retrieval of resources from the library catalog, avoiding manual updates by the instructor and maximum use of library resources 
• Flexibility to shape and refresh syllabi with or without templates
• Retention and roll over of lists to subsequent academic terms
• Direct communication with the library from within the Course Resource List with regard to acquisitions, links, and more
• Information about and communication with students from within Course Resource Lists

Workshops, tutorials, and individual consultations are being offered by the Gottesman Libraries and Digital Futures Institute starting February 21st, with information posted to the library news, Canvas, and message boards, and also sent via email to academic department administrators and program coordinators. The first workshop will be held online, Wednesday, February 23rd, 3-4pm.

Important Dates:

February 21 - May 18, 2022 - Monthly Course Resource Lists workshops

March 21, 2022 - Course Resource Lists go live 

May 19, 2022 - Summer A begins fuller roll out of Course Resource Lists
