Access the Library Reserves/Guides Page
In every Canvas course, enter through the left navigation Library Reserves/Guides or go directly to the Library Reserves tool, https://dcl.alma.exlibrisgroup.com/leganto/login?auth=SAML (you will be prompted to login).
- Current term courses and list templates are automatically created by the system.
- If Course Reserves were processed by library staff for the course in the past two years, those courses taught in those years.
- To reuse a list from the past two years, please email baker.circulation@dartmouth.edu.
- Is there content? Open the list and see. If not, there is nothing to copy. Please create a list using the SU22 course. (Reserves were all electronic from SP20-SU21 and so there may not be content to copy.)
- Note: online content, PDFs and URLs, are not included in these past lists. Scanned and linked readings are on the Canvas course page.
