Readings & Resources

We encourage you to use Readings & Resources in Canvas, which helps you easily build a list of course resources and collaborate with SMU Libraries. Organize course lists however you want and add any combination of resources from the libraries (online or physical), your personal files, or freely available websites.

Readings & Resources is supported by SMU Libraries and offers many benefits for instructors and students. Visit the Readings & Resources guide, attend workshops, or contact a librarian for help. 

Adding Items in Library Search

You can add items directly to your existing, active lists in Reading & Resources. 

  • Log in to Library Search.
  • Click on the item title to view options.
  • Under "Send to," select the Course List option.
  • Select a list from the dropdown menu (or switch to Favorites if you want to add the item to multiple lists). Optionally, select a section.
  • Click "Add to Readings & Resources."
