Embedding Library Resources in Canvas
Enhance Research Support in Your Course
Does your course require a research assignment or project? Make it easier for students to access research help by embedding library resources directly into Canvas. Adding a Virtual Librarian, integrating Research Guides (LibGuides), and linking to library materials ensures students have the tools they need for academic success.
Explore the Following Options:
A Virtual Librarian can support your students by answering research-related questions, creating instructional materials, and providing tailored guidance. They will also post key announcements throughout the semester. Learn more about how to add a librarian to your Canvas course.
LibGuides (Research Guides) provide course-specific resources to help students navigate databases, citations, and research strategies. You can embed a LibGuide into your Canvas course so students can easily access library-curated content.
Provide students with direct access to articles, journals, videos, and other library materials by using permanent links. Learn how to find Persistent URLs and share them in your Canvas course.
Each of these options can be easily implemented to support student research.
