Integrating the Library into Canvas

Add a library liaison to your course in order to:

• answer questions
• add modules, quizzes, or assignments
• create and link to a course research guide 
• help your students complete an assignment
• facilitate or participate in a discussion

You can also,

• Post an announcement for your upcoming library session
• Post your librarian's contact information
• Add external tools to improve functionality of the Library in your course

The following pages of this guide will provide some information on linking directly to an article found in a database and then integrating it into your Canvas course.

All Canvas course roles, except Observer and Guest, flow from WashU Course Listings (WUCRSL) to Canvas. To request the addition of a librarian to your course, contact your school registrar to update your course in WUCRSL. The Librarian's role in Canvas is "Support No GB".

Support No GB

Users with this role can:

• see course content
• participate in Discussion Boards
• add content such as research guides or modules
• cannot see/access student grades

Librarians can be added to courses only with consent of the instructor. After the instructor and librarian agree on the type of interaction the librarian will have with the class, the instructor can enroll the librarian in the site from the People button in the course navigation menu, or by contacting their  Canvas administrator.
