Embedding a Library Guide

LibGuides are online web pages created by librarians to help students better use library resources, conduct research, and perform other tasks to succeed in assignments. The library has a list of all LibGuides.

You can embed LibGuides into your Canvas Course so it is easier for students to access these resources.
