Canvas Integration

Welcome to the New Canvas Library Tool!

We have recently launched the Library Tools feature inside Canvas! This tool allows us to automatically display guides and subject-focused database lists by matching a field value from a course in Canvas to a metadata value in our LibGuides system. If the values match, that item is (or those items are) displayed! Other library features are included in all - our location hours, and AskALibrarian FAQ and chat widgets.

 

We hope that this easy-to-find and use tool will allow your students to access valuable library resources more quickly and easily than ever! If there is content that you think would be helpful for students in your courses, you can locate your library program liaisons here.

Library Tools - the Basics

The Library Tools feature is included in the list of options to the left of each course shell as shown above. No installation is required, students can just click on the link when needed!
