Library Resources for Canvas

What Are Library Guides?

Library Guides provide a platform for librarians to create customizable research guides for your class. The guides can demonstrate how to use the library's single search system, and highlight specific databases and resources held by the library. They can also include information for citing resources. Talk to a librarian to have a guide created specifically for your class.
