For Faculty: Embed a Research Guide in Canvas

Tool for Embedding LibGuides in Canvas

We have a tool to embed LibGuides into Canvas.

If you embed the LibGuide using the LTI External Tool, students will have an active window that they can immediately use to access the library research guide for their course or discipline. For more information on how to embed LibGuides, go to this page with instructions on how to use the LibApps LTI.

You can request a custom course research guide from your Discipline Liaison Librarian. They can embed it if you add them to your Canvas course in the Librarian role.
