Tags and Notes
Tag Items
Use tags to guide students' use of your list. Tags tell students the status of specific resources so that they can prioritize their reading and/or viewing and plan their time.
Open the item in your list by clicking on the title. Click Add Tag.
Select the appropriate tag:
- Essential -- use this tag for required reading and viewing. Essential tags also trigger purchase requests if the library does not own an electronic version of an item. Essential tags are also the basis for Digitization Requests.
- Further resources for interested students -- use this tag to indicate resources that you recommend students read or view to deepen their understanding
- Reading choice -- use this tag to indicate items that readers' may choose from to complete an assignment
- Extra Credit -- use this tag when you want to provide students with an extra credit assignment linked to a reading or viewing title outside of your Essential choices
Add Notes
Add Notes to items to indicate page ranges for list assignments or provide tips about what readers should look for while reading or viewing. Click on the item to open it and then write the public note. You can also add a due date, but it will NOT link to the Canvas Calendar.
A public note will appear like this in the list.
After you've finished tagging and adding notes to the items on your list, you're ready to Send Your List to the Library.
