Adding eReserves to your Canvas course is a relatively simple process but does require some use of the raw html editor </> in Canvas.

When requesting eReserves from the Library, your library liaison will store the eReserve files in the Box cloud service and then provide a code snippet for embedding in Canvas.

Adding the code snippet to a page in Canvas allows students to see the eReserves in a Box widget where they can login and access the files. This code can be placed anywhere within Canvas where the rich content editor can be used, however, placing the embedded content within a Canvas page and positioned for easy access within a course Module is the best way to provide access to your eReserve material.

Further Examples of Placement

UNCG ITS has outlined steps for inserting the code into Canvas in this knowledge base article. If you have any further questions, please contact the CVPA ITC.
