Library Resources in Brightspace: Subject Guides

Adding Subject Guides

NSCC Library Services uses LibGuides' Content Management System to create and maintain Subject Guides. There is a guide for every Learning Program. NSCC Librarians work with faculty to pull together lists of books, eBooks, articles, websites, and videos that are current, authoritative and accessible from on and off-site campus.

Subject Guides integrate seamlessly into Brightspace courses. You can add:

  • an entire guide
  • a page from a guide
  • a box from a guide

If you decide to add Subject Guide content to Brightspace, please contact Alaina MacKenzie alaina.mackenzie@nscc.ca to get the widget code you need.

Embed An Entire Guide

Embed A Page from a Guide

You can add a specific page from a guide, similar to add an entire guide without the tabs to navigate.

Embed A Content Box from a Guide

Or you can add a specific Content Box from a guide. This is handy if you want to provide a list of books or websites.
