Course Reserves with Leganto

Leganto – E-Reserve for courses in Brightspace is designed to help instructors incorporate library materials in their Brightspace courses.  Instructors can build, maintain, and share resource lists that include books and articles owned by the library, videos, web resources, and more. Library staff can provide resources more efficiently and scale up to support more courses. Students can access all course materials in one place and from any device
