Add Library Resources

Important

Classic Content will be retired at the University of Arizona on August 17, 2026.

Starting then, New Content Experience will be the default in all sites. Between May 12 & August 16, 2026, users with an instructor role in a course site can toggle between Classic & New Content experiences. For step-by-step instructions working in New Content Experience, please see New Content Experience Help Pages (opens in a new tab).

The best way to share library resources in Brightspace is with stable, proxied links. These links ensure off-campus access through UA authentication and keep students from running into paywalls when accessing ebooks, articles, and streaming videos. These links can be added directly to a Content module by using Create a Link.

Learn more about finding links for library resources (opens in new tab) on the University Libraries website.
