- In the course, click on the Course materials tab.
Three types of materials can be associated with a course:
- Catalogued items from your collection.
- Brief records for electronic resources that are not part of the library’s collection.
- Electronic resources from your collection.
- On the Course materials tab, the Associate item tab will open by default.
- Enter the barcode of the item you wish to associate with the course.
- Enter the relationship the item has with the course. For example, an item may be required reading or be supplemental.
A new call number, circulation modifier, and shelving location can be assigned to the item.
- These are temporary values. When the course is archived Evergreen will automatically restore the original values.
- Optionally, enter an item status.

Note
Unlike brief records, detaching this resource from the course or archiving the course will not delete the bibliographic record.

After creating a brief record, it is represented as a bibliographic record in your catalogue, which cataloguers may edit and enhance at any time. When the resource is detached from the course or the course is archived, the bibliographic record will be automatically deleted.
