How to Embed Research Guides (AKA LibGuides) in Canvas

LibGuides are a powerful tool for your course.  They function as webpages and can include information and links that students will need.  LibGuides are an excellent choice for courses with heavy research needs or just as a place to keep all course material organized for yourself and students.  LibGuides can be embedded into a Canvas Page with a little ingenuity.  Embedding the LibGuide into a Canvas Page allows students to interact with it from within your Canvas course. The Library is working on easier LibGuide integration.  Browse existing guides here. Or, contact a faculty librarian to build your own.
