Library Toolkit: Blackboard and More

Services to different patron groups.

Customized Research Guides

The librarians create research guides to help students to find the best resources, both in the library collections and on the open web. We offer several kinds of guides:

Subject Guides

Subject guides cover key resources in a broad academic discipline, and showcase library resources related to that discipline. Do we have a guide for your subject area? You can add a link to your Blackboard courses.

Topic Guides

Topic guides are like subject guides, but smaller and more focused. You can add links to one or more topic guides to your Blackboard courses.

Customized Course or Assignment Guides

Want a guide that focuses on your research assignment? We can work together to build a guide that steers your students to good resources for a specific assignment. This works best when students choose their topics within a defined framework; it's hard to customize resources for a generic assignment.

General Help Guides

We have guides to help with specific aspects of the research process, like the argumentative paper, or citation. If you think a guide will help your students, you can add a link to your Blackboard courses.

Add the Library to Your Blackboard Class

Textbooks

If you have chosen a library ebook for your textbook, you can put a link to the book in Blackboard. Send us the title, and we will send you the link, or show you how to get it yourself. Paste it into Blackboard as you would any other link.

Articles

If you are using articles from the library resources in your reading list, you can link directly to the articles in Blackboard. Send us the citation, and we will send you the link, or show you how to get it yourself. Paste it into Blackboard as you would any other link.

Films on Demand

If you have selected videos or segments from Films on Demand, our streaming media database, you can add links to the videos in Blackboard. Let us show you how.

Reference Books

Want to add a dictionary, thesaurus, or other reference tool from our digital collections? We'll be happy to make suggestions and provide links.

Assignment Consultations

Are you a new adjunct, working on your first research assignment? Are you a veteran faculty member who feels like a favorite assignment has got stale? Tired of reading the same old research papers?  Want to experiment with something new? Need someone to bounce ideas off?

Librarians will be happy to work with you to help design research assignments and  classroom or homework exercises dealing with library resources or using information. We can help you to review resources to make sure the collections can support the topic, help you to test and refine instructions, listen to ideas and offer suggestions. To schedule a consultation, reach out to any librarian, or send email to library@atlanticcape.edu.
