Embedding library resources in Canvas: LibGuides

If there is a LibGuide for your course - or if a subject LibGuide is applicable to your course - you can make it easier for your students to find and use by linking to it within your Canvas course! 

Quick facts:

• A LibGuide is a regular website with its own address, or URL. Each page within a guide has its own unique URL.
• You can link to a LibGuide - or a page of one - in a course page and/or course navigation. 
• Here you can view all HCC Libraries LibGuides.

Link to a LibGuide within a page of your course

A LibGuide is a regular website with its own address (URL). Also, each page of a LibGuide has its own unique URL.

You can link to a LibGuide - or any page of one within Canvas - as you would to any other website.

In Canvas, use the external link tool.

Link to a LibGuide within the left-navigation menu of your course

In Canvas, select "Show in course navigation" while using the redirect tool.
