Library Databases inside Canvas

[dadolf]

Hi All:  I'm an academic librarian at a small community college.  Is there a way to put our database page inside Canvas and do away with the need for a proxy?  If students and faculty log in to Canvas, and it works with our ERP, it seems like this would be enough.  Has anyone put their databases behind the Canvas log-on?  Willing to share what is needed to make this work?

Hi,  @dadolf ‌, while I don't have an immediate answer for you, I wanted to let you know that I've shared your question with the Librarians and Resources‌ group. You won't need to join that group to see responses as they appear, but if you'd like to join, you can easily do so by clicking on the link to the group and selecting Join Group from the Actions dropdown at the upper right of the page.

 @dadolf ,

Were you able to find an answer to your question? I am going to go ahead and mark this question as answered because there hasn't been any more activity in a while so I assume that you have the information that you need. If you still have a question about this or if you have information that you would like to share with the community, by all means, please do come back and leave a comment.  Also, if this question has been answered by one of the previous replies, please feel free to mark that answer as correct.

I figured it out and now we use LibGuides which house and organize database and other electronic resources.  All linked in Canvas via LTI.  

It's been life changing!
