How do I integrate a library guide with my Brightspace course?

Answer

Option 1:  Create a Link

 

Go to the library's Research Guides page to see the available guides.

Right-click on the guide name and select Copy link address.

Under the Upload / Create button in the appropriate course module, select Create a Link and paste in the link you copied.  


Option 2:  Select and Embed a Guide from within Brightspace

 

In your course, navigate to the module where you'd like to include the guide.  Once you are in the module, click Existing Activities and then select External Learning Tools.

In the alphabetical list of external learning tools, click Springshare Single-Course Tool - TCC

 

It will now display as a link in your module. Click on that Springshare Single-Course Tool - TCC link to see your options.

The LibGuides Site will already be selected. 

  1. Click the down arrow in the Content Type box and choose Full LibGuide.
  2. Click on the down arrow in the Guide box and start typing a course code or a word from the guide name. 
  3. You have the option to select a different landing page from the default.  If you leave the Guide Page box blank, it will use the guide's default starting page.
  4. Make your selections and then click Embed Content.

 

Back in the module, the link will still be labeled Springshare Single-Course Tool - TCC.  Click on that link and you can see the integrated content and also be able to change the wording of the link.  Click on the down arrow and select Edit Title.

 

Notice that with this second option you have other ways to integrate library guide content with your course.  Your librarian would be more than happy to help you finesse your selections.
