Fwd: Creating a Library Presence in Canvas

by Rosario Passos

Hi everyone, Thought some of you might be interested in this, especially the institutions that use Canvas. From: "Horan, Elizabeth" <ehoran(a)coastline.edu> To: cccoer-advisory(a)googlegroups.com Sent: Tuesday, November 8, 2016 1:30:18 PM Subject: Creating a Library Presence in Canvas Hi all, I wanted to share this great resource for creating a Library Presence in Canvas. Please share with your librarians. Creating a Library Presence in Canvas As California community colleges adopt the Canvas Learning Management System (LMS) as part of the state’s Online Education Initiative, librarians have new opportunities to bring library research and information literacy instruction into the online environment. Sponsored by the Council of Chief Librarians, Erin Daniels and Phyllis Usina, librarians at Santa Rosa Junior College, have prepared a guide that identifies ways in which commonly available library services, resources, and programs can be integrated into Canvas. Called, Creating a Library Presence in Canvas , this guide contains features that can be implemented at different levels of the Canvas LMS, including System-wide, Global Navigation, Course Navigation, Module Level, or Page Level. In addition, the authors created digital examples of those resources that lent themselves to replication by preparing a public Canvas course. Librarians are encouraged to visit the public course to see these examples for potential adaptation, and to download a copy of the 41-page guide. Find the guide and sample resources in this public Canvas course: https://canvas.santarosa.edu/courses/19390 Special thanks to Erin Daniels and Phyllis Usina for this helpful resource.

Stats on Fair Dealing?

by Rosario Passos

Hi all, Doe anyone know of any statistics on Fair Dealing? David Porter was wondering the following: "Anybody have any stats on fair dealing? That is, how many faculty or instructors make use of the provisions. Library data? Doesn’t some university have an app that automatically captures that kind of data from faculty members submissions and requests for evaluation of fair dealing amounts permissible in Canada?" If you know of any data, please let me know.
