During Fall 2024, UC Merced librarians worked to update and refresh these tutorials, including adding upgrades to ensure that they meet current accessibility standards. These tutorials can be used as standalone assignments, or in conjunction with each other to meet your instruction needs. Import instructions are available on the Library website. You can also find them by searching ‘SYRS’ in Canvas Commons:
Each tutorial module comes with a quiz for students to check their understanding of the content. Instructors can modify the quiz point values or unpublish them as needed to fit course needs. The tutorials are also available outside of CatCourses on the Library’s online research guides.
In addition, the Library makes several other tutorials available through Canvas Commons. We also offer the Library DIY tutorials, which are videos and self-guided tutorials, and our online research guides include the “Learn About…” guides for various topics and skills.
