Library Resources for Faculty Using Online Teaching Methods
Some possible information literacy enhancements for faculty using Moodle, SPARK, blogs, and other online learning tools
- Add a link to the library subject research guide for your discipline. If no subject guide is available, contact your subject specialist librarian to see about creating one.
- Include subject specialist librarians as members or instructors of online courses, so they can advise and help students become information literate.
- Embed library course guides - even widgets - into SPARK, blogs, and web pages.
- Link to a library instructional video.
- Make sure students do not pay for articles found on Google and other searches that are already available to them through the Libraries' ejournal and research databases collections.
- Work with librarians to ensure students take full advantage of the high-quality resources provided to support their learning experience.
- Integrate Ask a Librarian services (IM, phone and email services) into courses.
- Link to Library Resources from inside Moodle, SPARK and course websites.
- Link to E-Reserves and Streaming Video and Audio.
- Integrate RefWorks and Ref Share (Citation management and sharing software) into online course components.
- Integrate Turnitin (Plagiarism prevention and detection software) into online course components.
Troubleshooting
- Database connection problems
- RefWorks FAQ
- For distance students, WorldCat finds books in libraries near them
- Ask a Librarian
