Canvas and Library Guides

This page describes how to create a standalone Library Module in Canvas.

1. In your Canvas course, create a new module by selecting the blue +Module button. Give it a name.

2. Choose the "+" icon to indicate you want to Add an Item. 

1. From the drop-down menu, select "Add External Tool"

2. Select "Library Guides", then "Add Item"

Next, a drop-down menu provides several options for you to select from.

1. There are two Library Guides collections on the list. Choose "Research Guides" for guides created by librarians at the Glassboro campus or "Rowan Medical Libraries Guides" for guides created by librarians at the medical schools. 

2. Under "Content Type" you choose what library content to embed. You can embed an entire library guide, a single page from a guide, or a single box from a guide. Or, you can embed the entire databases list, or the databases for a specific subject.

3. Depending on what option you pick for Content Type, different options will be available for the remaining selections.

Make sure you uncheck the 'Load in a new tab' box. 

4. Finally, select the Embed Content button to add the item to your module. Don't forget to Publish your new module!
