Integrating Library Resources into Canvas

Research Guides are designed by librarians to help students select appropriate sources, guide them on doing research, recommend tools, and instruct the students on the use of library and other research materials. Linking out to a guide is great but it's better to actually integrate that content into a Canvas site. Students will get the information they need right when they need it.
