One of the features that stands out about Canvas is the ability to connect other systems into the modules, extending them with additional activities and activities. Recently, our library colleagues have been working to provide just such an integration for the Library Subject Guides. We’re delighted to host a guest post from Chris Brown, explaining how to add Subject Guide content in any Sussex Canvas module:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you want your students to make the most of Library resources?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can now embed Library Subject Guide re<\/a>sources<\/a> in your Canvas modules, making it easier for students to find, access and use these materials from within your teaching sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Library Subject Guides list key resources such as specialist subject databases and digital archives. You can access video resources, such as Kanopy and online newspapers, while our A to Z resources range from ARTstor to Zotero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to Subject Guides, the Library also provides guides to other resources, including reference management software and theses and dissertations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can find these guides on the Library website at \u201cSubject guid<\/a>es and support<\/a>\u201d:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to embed Library Subject Guides in Canvas<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You can embed Library materials as a new \u201cPage\u201d, or as a new \u201cItem\u201d in Canvas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To do this, simply add an \u201cexternal tool\u201d and select \u201cLib Apps Library Content\u201d. You then choose which Library Subject Guide materials you want to embed. You can choose to embed a full guide, a single page from a guide, or an individual content box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
