Library Resources in Canvas

Columbia College has installed the LibApps LTI into Canvas. This means you can easily embed subject and course guides as well as databases into Canvas.

Where to Add Content

There are several places you can enter LibGuides content into Canvas: Modules, Assignments or Pages.

• Modules This is a good place for a specific page or box from a guide, relevant to that specific module.
• Assignments List of databases or resources – single page or box relevant to the assignments.
• Pages – More general The entire guide would be good as one of the resources. In addition, you can add a list of subject databases.
