The DACC Library offers 3 ways to include library content in your DACC courses. We can deliver

1. in-person instruction in your classroom or one of the DACC Library locations,
2. visit your class online, or
3. embed in your Canvas course.

To get started, please fill out our Library Instruction Request Form. Once we have connected and assigned a librarian to embed in your course, faculty can then add a user to their Canvas courses as a TA, Co-Teacher, Designer, or other role (just not as a Student).  To add a librarian to your course as a TA, please follow the directions below:

• Click on People
• Click on the +People button
• Select the button next to Login ID
• Enter the username (login id) in the field under Example:lsmithu,mfosteru
• Select the Role
• Click Next
• Click Add Users

The Library has many ways to add our services and resources to your class within in Canvas. 

We Can: 

• Use the Canvas External Tool to add Library Databases and Research Guides to Canvas
• Add a link to an item in the DACC Search Everything
• Add a Link to an Article, Book Chapter, or Book via a Library Database
• Add a link to a specific database
• Add a link or embed a video in Canvas

If you are having trouble with any of these instructions, please contact the library at library@dacc.nmsu.edu for further help.

Please note: 
(1) You must create an account with our video streaming platforms in order to create clips from a film.
(2) Students may be required to validate their DACC credentials before they can read the books and articles or see the videos.

Sometimes you want your students to use a specific item that the library has available, like a book, journal, or video.  This is very easy to do using the Library Catalog's PERMALINK feature.  A permalink is a permanent link to that item that can be pasted into an electronic syllabus or on a Canvas page.

Once you have identified the resource in the catalog, locate the PERMALINK in the Send to list of icons.   Click on the PERMALINK icon and copy the URL link to your syllabus or Canvas page.

Databases also have permalinks that can be embedded into your Canvas course or your electronic syllabus. 

For the EBSCO databases, the permalink icon is at the bottom of the Tools menu on the right-hand side. Clicking on the link will open the URL for you to copy.

Gale databases use a similar-looking icon, which is located on the top right-hand side of the page.  Click on the icon to get the URL to copy.

Visit our Guide on Permalinks for all of our database.

It is very easy to add a link to a specific DACC database.  Once you have located the database(s) you wish to use from the Library's AtoZ Databases page, there is a small icon to the right of the title.    Clicking on this icon will bring up the URL that you can copy and paste into your documents or Canvas course.
