Summary

This article describes the process for linking USNH Library Reserves to a course in Canvas using the native Redirect app. Please note that you are responsible for requesting the desired Reserves through the Library. More information can be found at your campus library website 

• UNH Dimond Library - https://library.unh.edu/community/faculty  
• PSU Lamson Library - https://library.plymouth.edu/for-faculty  
• KSC Mason Library - https://library.keene.edu/services/faculty  
• CPS Library - https://cps.unh.edu/library  

Instructions

Step 1 - After logging into Canvas, access your course.

Step 2 - In your course menu list, click on "Settings" at the bottom.

Step 3 - Click on the "Apps" tab at the top.

Step 4 - Click on the Redirect Tool icon which looks like a curly blue arrow. You may have to select "View App Configurations" and "All" (highlighted yellow) if you are not in the default Apps view.

Step 5 - Click "Add App" which will appear underneath the Redirect Tool icon.

Step 6 - In the resulting pop-up window, enter the Name as "Library Reserves."

Step 7 - Copy and paste the appropriate URL for the Library Reserve you are using into the URL Redirect box.

Step 8 - Select "Force open in a new tab (For External Links Only)" and "Show in Course Navigation."

Step 9 - When finished, click "Add App."

Note: If you have copied your course from a previous semester, then the Redirect Link may contain a link that points to the previous course. The course URL link will need to be updated to the current course.

The LTI Redirect App cannot be edited by faculty after it's been saved. If you need to edit the app after you have added it, enter a Canvas support request asking for it to be edited. Be sure to include the information you want changed.   

Alternatively you can hide this link using the Navigation area to remove it from the Course Menu list. Then you can create a new Redirect App.

Outcome

You will be able to add and enable the Redirect App in your course.

Instructions

Step 1 - In your course, go to Course Settings > Navigation tab (to the left of the Apps tab described in Step 3 above).

Step 2 - Drag and drop items to reorder them in course navigation, or click the three dots  icon, then Move and follow the prompts.

Step 3 - Click Save at the bottom of the page to update the changes.

Note:  If you copy your course content to another course the redirect tool does not always copy the weblink in the Redirect tool properly.  You may have to submit a ticket to have the technical team re-add the URL to the new course.

Outcome

You will be able to change the app's location in the Course Navigation menu.
