Embedding Library Content into D2L

You have the option to embed a full A-Z list of Kaufman Library databases or a list of databases for a specific subject. Below are instructions for both options.

The instructions below show you how to embed Kaufman Library's complete A-Z list of databases.

1. After creating the module where you want to embed the A-Z list of databases, click the Existing Activities button and choose External Learning Tools.
   
   
    

2. Select Kaufman Library Resources from the list of External Learning Tools.
   
   

3. Click Kaufman Library Resources (default title for your content in your module) to launch the next steps of the manual embedding process. In these next steps, you'll select the exact content you want to embed within your course. First, choose Library Research Guides - libguides.ggc.edu from the first drop-down menu.
   
   
    

4. Next, choose what type of content you want to embed within your course. You can choose a full research guide, a single page of a research guide, a single content box from a page of a research guide, or library databases. If you're unsure which option to choose, your liaison librarian is happy to assist. In this example, we are going to embed the entire A-Z list of databases.
   
   
    

5. Click Embed Content.
   
   
    

6. Refresh the page to view your embedded content. Because you are an instructor in D2L for your course, you will see an intermediary page first (shown below). From this page, you can choose whether to view the content you just embedded or edit your selection to embed different content.
   
   
    

7. When you click View Content, you will see the embedded content exactly as students in your course will view it.
