Guides

EMBEDDING LIBRARY RESOURCES WITHIN BLACKBOARD AND CANVAS

The Library Resources tool within Blackboard and Canvas connects students to what they need alongside all of their other course information, links, discussions, etc., without sending students outside their browser window or mobile app. You can embed subject guides, course guides and/or E-Reserves:

Subject Guides

Course Guides

General purpose guides (Example)

E-Reserves

If a class has a Course Guide, the tool will automatically add it to the course. For classes without Course Guides, departmental subject guides will appear. No action is required of the instructor. The same is true of most E-Reserve lists; however, instructors who create their own E-Reserve lists will need to add metadata or ask the Reserve Desk to do this for them. The metadata matches a parameter within Blackboard and Canvas.

ERes Archive

Contact Ellis Library Reserves at umcellislibraryres@missouri.edu to retrieve archival ERes course material.

Course Reserves (Print books, DVDs, etc.)

  • NOTE: Photocopies of articles or book chapters must be posted on E-Reserves (electronic reserve).
  • Please submit the request form as soon as you can, especially if it includes books not already in our collection.
  • On average, it takes six to eight weeks to order, receive, and process books. We will process reserve lists in the order received.

Renewing Reserve Items

  • Library materials may be renewed for the next semester if they are on reserve for the current semester.
  • Personal copies of books may remain on Reserve, even if the items are not needed for the next semester.
  • Any items on current print reserve lists that are not renewed for the next semester will be discharged at the end of the current semester. You will be contacted to retrieve any personal copy material.
