A nursing instructor just asked me about the best way to make a library ebook available to his spring class.
Here's a general reminder:
eReserves is more for digitized versions of print articles or a very small portion from a print book, say one chapter. A collection of those digitized items is created in a Box folder and the instructor gets embed code to that they can post in Canvas. (reserves info here)
When an instructor wants to provide an online book, article, video - the preferred
approach is to post a direct link in Canvas. This works when
- the link is stable/persistent and works on and off campus: the liaison librarian can help or ask around and get back to the instructor
- it's known if only one person at a time can use the source: the liaison librarian can check this or ask
Best,
Lea
