Library Resources in Canvas

Canvas courses at Temple have a Library link on the left-side navigation menu. 

Having library resources in Canvas helps students build research skills. The Library link brings these resources to your students, automatically.

In most courses, the Library link highlights commonly sought information and tools such as library building and service hours, Library Search, and how to get help from a librarian.

In courses where a subject librarian has created a custom library research guide for a course, the Library link will automatically show that guide. (To request a guide be created for your course, contact your subject librarian.)

Please submit feedback to us about the Library link in Canvas.
