Baylor Library Basics (available on Canvas only)

These modules are available on the Canvas Commons (just search "library") and can be embedded into your Canvas course. They are also accessible outside of Canvas (just contact your subject specialist librarian). We are happy to work with you to develop modules on other information literacy related topics that you deem necessary for your students.
