Canvas: Linking to Library Resources and Articles: Home

Adding direct links to WCTC Library databases and articles enhances your Canvas courses with high-quality content. For lasting access, use the database’s permanent link and add the WCTC Library EZproxy prefix: https://ezproxy.wctc.edu/login?url=. This ensures access off-campus. The list below explains how to create these links from specific databases.

Some databases, like Films on Demand and ProQuest, let you add content directly in Canvas. When creating an assignment, click the Tools icon (plug symbol) to search and insert content. Please contact WCTC Library with any questions!
