You should have your syllabus on hand as you locate your non-textbook readings.

  1. There can be great variability in how instructors link to readings. Some readings found on the open web (no password required) may be provided in the syllabus as a link, or as a link in a module in Canvas.
  2. Readings made available by the library and are accessed in your course in Canvas.
  3. After you've logged in and are in your desired course.
  4. Look on the left navigation for a link to Readings:

Here you will see the required readings provided by the library, and you can select the module or week to pull up the readings you need for a specific week/module. You can also change the sort to Author/Title.  If you don't see the reading you need, be sure to verify the article is not mis-tagged by re-sorting by author or searching words in the title.

Click on View Item to open the reading

Some View Item links will take you to PDF scans that are directly available to you in Canvas. Others will link to library subscription resources.
