Library services
The Library will place electronic reserves (and information about physical reserves) in your Canvas site under the "Penn Libraries Course Reserve" section.
Reserve staff will scan journal articles and book excerpts, link to licensed e-resources and provide streaming video content to support teaching and learning. These resources will be made available to faculty and students under the "Penn Libraries Course Reserve" section of a Canvas course site.
(Faculty also may continue to use the Library's traditional reserve services for printed books and personal copies.)
Librarians will also provide additional support for Canvas courses, such as links to key databases, tutorials on particular research tasks, or course guides that list major reference tools and primary source collections.
To learn how to place requests for electronic (or physical) reserves. Please see Reserves - for faculty (Reserve request procedures).
