Embedding LibGuides into Canvas

This support guide demonstrates how to embed content from LibGuides into the Canvas course management system.

A single content box from a page in a guide will display. You have the option to display the box without header/borders.

  • LibGuides Site: Research Guides - libguides.wustl.edu
  • Content Type: Choose Content Box.
  • Guide: Select the guide that contains the box you want to display.
    Tip: Use the box at the top to filter the list by guide name!
  • Guide Page: Select the page that contains the box you want to display.
  • Box: Select the box you want to display when the user clicks the link.
  • Optionally, check off the box to display the box without the header / border (like a "floating box" in LibGuides).
  • Click Embed Content.
