Reference library

A shared, searchable library of citations in 15 source types, reused across syllabi and course classes.

The library is a bibliographic catalogue, not a lending system. Entries are formatted in APA style and can be attached to any syllabus or course class, so a textbook used in six courses is entered once.

Browse

Filter by keyword, source type, sort order and whether a file is attached. Open an entry to see the full citation, abstract and attachments.

Add an entry

1. Click Add and choose the source type: Book, Book Section, Journal Article, Conference Proceedings, Report, Website, Website Document, Electronic Source, Art, Sound Recording, Performance, Film, Interview, Patent, Case or Miscellaneous.
2. Fill the form. Fields change with the type; required fields are marked.
3. Optionally attach a file (for example an open-access PDF or a case handout).
4. Save. The entry is immediately available in every syllabus reference picker.

Use in a syllabus or class

In the References tab of a syllabus or course class, click Add from library, search, and select. To create a new entry from there, choose New reference; the same type forms open in place and the entry is saved to the library as well.

Editing and duplicates

Anyone can propose an edit to an entry; changes apply everywhere the entry is used. Before adding, search by title to avoid duplicates. Administrators can merge duplicates from the list.
