Requires a Pressbooks enterprise network license. The Universities of Wisconsin System has a network license with Pressbooks and distributes book licenses to participating universities. Librarians can make these books available for instructors at their university to use with the Pressbooks Canvas integration.

New Users

Instructors interested in using Pressbooks in Canvas should contact their campus library to see if their university is part of the UW System Pressbooks network license and to ask which books they have available. If Pressbooks books are available through their library, instructors should then contact their campus Canvas administrator to request the installation of the Pressbooks external tool.
