Instructors
The library has migrated to a new course reserves system! The Leganto course reserves system provides an intuitive user interface and new workflows. You can
access course reserves through your
D2L course site.
- Select
Edit Course from the D2L course navigation bar.
-
Select
Course Reserves from the drop down menu.*
-
Your course reserves list(s) will open in a new window.
* If you do not have the Course Reserves option,
email
ctl@depaul.edu to have it added or
log into Leganto directly.
Follow the Course Reserves Guide to learn how to prepare your course reserves. You can create lists of library resources and external resources and make them available to the students in your course with the course reserves system. Course reserves are accessed by students through your D2L course site, so make sure to add the course reserves module to D2L.
For an introduction to course reserves, attend a training or drop-in Q&A hour.
