Guide to Library Resources in Canvas: Embed Research Guides

Embed Research Guides in Canvas

Research guides are created by OU library personnel to help students identify and use the best resources for a particular subject area or class. 

Instructors can embed research guides into their Canvas course so students have immediate access to curated resources for projects and papers. Research guides also include the contact information for liaison librarians who are available for research appointments.  

To embed a guide into Canvas:

  • Add a new Module 
  • Add an External URL 
  • Enter the URL for the research guide. (Be sure the URL begins with https. Example: https://guides.ou.edu/anthro) 
  • Add a Page Name
  • Leave Load in a new tab unchecked 
  • Select Add Item
