How do I embed LibGuide boxes in Blackboard?

You will need to work with your subject librarian in order to embed LibGuide boxes in Blackboard, either by adding them as Librarian or Teaching Assistant to your Blackboard course so they can add the content themselves, or by asking them to provide you with the code for the boxes you wish to embed.
