Library Instruction for English Research

Library research guides can be embedded directly in your Canvas course, making these resources easily accessible to your students throughout the semester. For assistance or to discuss creating new online resources for your class, contact the Instruction Coordinator.

 Library Research Guides  

• A list of research guides available from Fulton Library.

Embed the Guide in Canvas Left-Side Navigation Bar

1. You might already see Library Resources (NOT Library or UVU Library Resource) in the left-side navigation bar of your course, with the most relevant guide already embedded. If not, follow these steps or see the Adding Research Guides to Canvas Instructions PDF below.
2. Log in to Canvas and select the course to which you’d like to add a guide.
3. On the left side navigation bar, click Settings.
4. On the top navigation bar, select the tab for Navigation.
5. Drag the Library Resources item into the course navigation. Make sure the options labeled Library or UVU Library Resources are hidden from students—these are old resources and do not have live links.
6. At the bottom of the page, click Save.
7. Library Resources should now appear in the course’s left navigation bar, and clicking the link will load the relevant guide.

Embed the Guide in Relevant Canvas Module

1. Use our Research Guide list to locate the guide most relevant to your course. Copy the guide's URL.
2. Log in to Canvas and select the course to which you'd like to add the guide.
3. In the relevant course module, click the plus sign to add an item (similar to if you were adding a new page or quiz to a module).
4. Select the External URL option.
5. Enter the URL for your selected research guide, name the page, and then click Add Item.
6. The guide will now appear as a page within the module.
