Canvas Librarian Role
A “Librarian” role in Canvas can help the course instructor and the librarian collaborate to support students in their research process.
This voluntary role allows course instructors to invite librarians into their class and assign a role that is clearly defined and recognizable to teachers, students, instructional designers, and librarians.
PERMISSIONS
In concert with the course instructor, librarians will be able to:
-
Access course materials
-
Embed library research guides
-
Add course content (e.g. tutorials, tools, Information Literacy modules)
-

Communicate with students
Librarians do not have access to grades or other sensitive information. The content that is added and the involvement of the librarian will be agreed upon by the librarian and instructor.
