Adding Library Links to Canvas

Instructions on how to properly obtain copyright clearance and upload articles and other materials to Canvas.

Are You Uploading or Linking in Canvas?

Aloha Faculty! Are you planning on adding content to your Canvas course?
Please follow the steps below to ensure proper access and copyright clearance first. 

Uploading  = You Need Copyright Clearance

Linking = No Need for Copyright Clearance

UPLOADING: Because there are costs and other restrictions associated with uploading content for which you are not the copyright holder (i.e. the original author), the library recommends that you link to the material. Questions may be directed to: library@byuh.edu.

 

 LINKING: If the material can be linked to directly on the open web or through a library database then copyright clearance is not required. If you can link to a document, you should link to it. Links to library articles need a special url added to the beginning (click here or on the tab above).
