Assigning content from the Library

1. From the Dashboard, click the "Library" tab.

2. Select the grade you are teaching (if you see more than one). For this article, we are selecting Grade 3.

If you click on the "My Library" button and nothing seems to happen, you may need licenses applied to your account. Only your school's Sadlier Connect Admin can resolve this problem for you. Here is more information regarding licenses.

3. On the table of contents, click a chapter from the left column.

4. Find a content item you want to assign that has an "assign" icon:

For this article, we selected the "Determining a Central Message" content item.

Helpful notes:

Renaming the assignment and then selecting the class will cause the assignment name to revert to the original.
If you see this message, "Not all students in the class have licenses applied to their accounts for this product and will not be listed below. Please contact your Sadlier Connect Admin for your school for assistance." scroll down to see who is missing from the list. Only your school's Sadlier Connect Admin can resolve this problem for you.

5. Enter a start date, due date, and choose if you will allow a grace period (end date).
