Question Details

Answer

Library Course Materials are a combination of research guides, course reserves, and instructor-built reading lists. It is a page found in every Canvas course taught at UMD.

The page consists of two parts: a section for course-specific library resources and a section for course reserves and/or the instructor reading list.

Instructors can request the creation of a new research guide by consulting their subject librarian. Resources such as textbooks, ebooks, articles, websites, videos, scanned PDFs, and more are added to the course reserves section through the Library Course Materials service. Students are able to access these materials online through Canvas, Course Works, or in person at the library.

More information about library course materials can be found on the Library Course Materials page of the library website.
