How do I enroll a librarian in Canvas?

Adding a librarian to Canvas faciliates librarian preparation for your classes and leads to possible engagement. Librarian participation with commenting is not expected and only by special request.

This role allows users to 1) see all course details 2) add materials and 3) view and comment on submissions and discussion boards.

If the librarian role is not preferred, review other options such as Faculty Peer, Student, Observer, etc. Options exist to limit to specific section.

Steps:

  1. Open your Canvas course.
  2. Select "People"  from left-hand (white) menu.
  3. Cick + People button on right (dark red).
  4. Add the librarian's email address or login id. 
  5. Under Role, select Librarian.
  6. Click Next.

If a librarian does not come up by email address, select option for login id and try again. Or let us know, we may need to contact helpdesk@rider.edu for more assistance
