Some ways librarians can be embedded in Canvas:

  • Assist students with finding, citing and evaluating resources for their research assignments via Zoom, email, and/or a research discussion forum
  • Schedule one-on-one research consultations with students
  • Collaborate with faculty on developing and facilitating library instruction sessions tailored towards specific research assignments
  • Collaborate with faculty on developing research guides tailored to specific research assignments

Request for Embedded Librarian and/or Tutor form.
