View how many sources students are adding to their assignment library

If a set number of sources is included in the assignment requirements, the sources provided by the instructor in the assignment library will not count toward the required number of sources. 

Even if the assignment does not include a required number of sources, educators can see how many sources each student is adding to their assignment library. Under the Sources tab, select Set library source count requirement, and set the minimum sources to 0.
