As you refine your syllabi and prepare your courses, we encourage you to plan so both you and your students have everything needed for a strong start to the fall semester. Hunter Library Subject Specialists can help you acquire your course materials in advance to avoid delays, reduce last‑minute stress, and ensure students can fully engage from day one.
To support a seamless start, consider the following tips:
- Audit Canvas links to ensure all content is active, accurate, and working properly. This step is made easier with the validate links tool in Canvas.
- Verify access to eBooks and databases you regularly use to confirm licenses have not expired.
- Request course materials early, including books and streaming films, so they are available to students at the beginning of the semester.
If you need help, contact your Subject Specialist! Find us on the library’s staff directory page.
