Embedding a Database List for a Subject into Canvas

This video describes how to embed a database list from the A-Z Databases list into a module in Canvas. To insert a database, select "LibApps Library Content" from the "External Tool" list and then select one of the database options from the "LibGuides" list. The options include:

  • "All A-Z Databases" – this will include all the search options available on the Library database list.
  • "Databases for Specific Subject + Subject Specialist" – this will limit display results to just the databases in the selected subject together with the librarian profile for that subject.
  • "Databases for Specific Subject (list only)" – this will limit display results to just the databases in the selected subject. The librarian profile will be omitted.
  • "Specific A-Z Database" – select a specific database from the database list.

After you publish the module, the selected content will be available to your students.
