About the Canvas modules

The Library has two Canvas modules that you can import into your class from the Commons. Each module covers:

getting started with library research
how to use EBSCO article databases
how to use the library catalog
how to contact the library for help

The module Library Research Basics covers only the core topics listed above. Intro to Library Research (with keyword searching basics): covers the core topics listed above plus keyword searching.

You may modify these materials as you like. If you would like a custom module for your class, just ask!

Updating the modules

The modules are updated periodically so that information stays current. We try not to make updates more than once per academic year; changes usually take place over the summer. Note that if you modified the modules, importing the new ones may overwrite your changes, so be cautious when updating! Please use updated information to avoid frustrating your students.
