Course Reserves
Course Reserves allows you to easily share content with students enrolled in your Canvas course. It is a university requirement that content for which you do not own copyright (journal articles, book chapters, multimedia, etc.) be managed through the Course Reserves system. Please visit Course Reserves for Instructors on the Emory Libraries website for more information on getting started.
You and your students can access reserves content directly within your Canvas course under “Library Course Reserves.” Library staff will assist you with posting reserves content, permissions, fair use, public domain, and other questions. When necessary, Library staff will also seek and pay permissions from a special fund for this purpose provided by the Provost's Office. Neither you nor your students will be charged permissions fees.

Instructors wishing to post copyrighted content (including journal articles, book chapters, multimedia, etc.) for which they do not hold the copyright are required by university policy to use the Course Reserves system accessed from within a Canvas course under Library Course Reserves so that library staff can help with permissions, fair use, public domain, and other questions. Libraries Reserves staff are available at reserves@emory.edu to answer any reserves-related questions.
Content that is openly licensed—such as open educational resources (OER) carrying a Creative Commons license—can be uploaded directly to Canvas. The Scholarly Communications Office is available at scholcomm@listserv.cc.emory.eduto help with questions about OER and open licenses.
