Embedding Library Resources in Canvas - Faculty Guide

This Widget allows an institution to create the code for a customized Search Box for their Primo VE interface. Libraries will want to use this tool to put a search box on their website or within a LibGuide page.

Library Catalog

The library's catalog will allow you to search a wide range of resources including books, eBooks, articles, and streaming videos.
