ASU Library Resource Organizer

In 2021, ASU Library implemented a rebranding of the department that assists with Course Resource Services. Two major changes were implemented:

1. The deparment still exists but we changed our name from Course Reserves to being referred as "Course Resource Services" or "CRS" for short!
2. The Leganto Reading List tool (ASU Library Reading List tool) was also changed and is now referred to as the Resource Organizer/ ASU Library Resource Organizer tool. 

Despite these changes, Course Resource Services is still available and happy to help with the Resource Organizer tool and other CRS needs! 

Yes, resend the list when you add content. The Course Resource Services staff will process it and let you know when the new items are available. 

If a user would like to see how the resource organizer will look like to students, they can utilize the Leganato ASU Library Resource Organizer tool's internal "View list as a student" feature.

1. Open the list menu
   • 
2. Click 'View list as a student'
   • 
3. The tool will reload and enter into student view:
   • 
     • To exit student view, click on 'Back to instructor view'. The tool will reload and revert back to the collaborator view, where citations can be edited.
4. NOTE: Canvas has its own "Student View" option:
   • 
   • Due to authentication processes, users that are not enrolled in the course will not be properly authenticated through the Canvas Student View. The error message above if there is an attempt to access the ASU Library Resource Organizer tool in the Canvas Student view.
     • Always use the 'View list as a student' feature (mentioned in step 1-2 above) when attempting to view the resource organizer as a student.

If ASU Library is able to license a streaming title for a course, our licensing department and Course Resource Services (CRS) staff will work to ensure the title is made available in as seamless way as possible.CRS staff will only renew streaming titles for active courses. 

Licensed Streaming Titles:

Licensing terms vary from platform/ distributors. Perpetual or multi-year licenses are not always guaranteed. If a title is purchased with a limited-timeframe, the title will need to be renewed. There are different ways that CRS attempts to ensure continued access:

• CRS staff reviews Daily Rollover reports that identify upcoming courses that may be associated with existing resource organizers. If a resource organizer is determined to be a rollover, organizer owners will be sent an email instructing them to submit the organizer for processing*. If the resource organizer is not submitted for processing, 
  • *Refer to our Rollover section in the library guide for more information.
