Course Resource Lists

This guide provides instructors with step-by-step instructions for using the libraries' course reserves platform.

How to Access Your Course Resource List

From within your course in Canvas (accessing with Google Chrome is recommended), scroll down to the Course Resource List link on the left-navigation menu.

If you have placed a course reserve request after Spring 2022, you will see your most recent list of resources (electronic resources will have "View online" links):

If you do not have a list created for your course yet, you will see the Quick Start screen:

Who Can Access Course Resource Lists?

  • Those with a Teacher or CA/TA + Grades role in the Canvas course can submit requests and build lists in all active, credit-bearing courses

*Those without these roles would need to contact DFI for access to the course in Canvas, and reserves@tc.columbia.edu to be added to a Course Resource List as a collaborator

  • Students enrolled in the course can view list resources (once the list is published)
