What is this service?
The LibGuides integration with Canvas allows faculty to embed selected LibGuides into pages in their Canvas site. This allows students to access research guide information without having to leave their Canvas course shell. Librarians at the College and the Institute can work with faculty to design custom research guides for their courses.
Who is eligible for this service?
Access to LibGuides is available to all active Middlebury students, faculty, and staff via Canvas and your Middlebury single-sign-on credentials.
