Using Library Resources in Canvas

This guide details how to use and embed library resources in Canvas so that students can access the content you have chosen.

Link to Journals

  1. Go to the library website and click on the Find a Journal tab of the search box.
  2. Search for the title of the journal.
  3. Click on link below the journal title that offers the coverage you want. Pay attention to the providing database; while many databases will allow you to link to a journal by using the provided button or by copying the URL, some, like Nexis Uni, will not.
  4. Find the permalink icon, then copy and paste the link.

FOR EBSCO DATABASES

In EBSCO databases like Academic Search Complete, click the Share icon on the right side of the page, then copy and paste the permalink. This link is complete.

FOR GALE DATABASES

In Gale databases like Opposing Viewpoints, click the Get Link icon at the top-right of the page, then copy and paste the permalink. This link will need the EZProxy prefix (https://ezproxy.hccc.edu/login?url=) placed before it. Remember to make sure the two pieces form one link.

FOR PROQUEST DATABASES AND SCIENCE DIRECT
