Course Readings: Info for Faculty

To have the library order books for your course, please contact Paula Cammarata with any requests or questions about the process.

Canvas

Fletcher uses Canvas, a web-based course management system for teaching, learning, and assessment. It allows you to provide students with course materials, discussion boards, online quizzes, and more. Log in to Canvas with your Tufts username and password to access your course sites.

Canvas Reading List Tool

  • Send your list to the library by email (Paula.Cammarata@tufts.edu) or by adding readings directly in the Reading Lists tab.
  • Once the library has processed your list, required books will appear in the Reading Lists tab of your Canvas course site.
  • See Canvas Reading Lists Help or email GinnCirc@tufts.edu for help using the Reading Lists tool.

EBooks

  • Ginn Library will order ebooks, whenever available.
  • Usage depends on the publisher’s restrictions; whenever possible, we aim to purchase ebooks with unlimited simultaneous user access.
  • Students can access these books directly from the Reading Lists tab or the library catalog (JumboSearch).

Print Books

  • Ginn Library will order copies of print books.
  • These books will be available for students to check out from the Ginn Library circulation desk for 2-hour intervals. For more details on usage, refer to our Course Reserves page.
