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.

•  
  • 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.
  • Database connection problems
  • RefWorks FAQ
  • For distance students, WorldCat finds books in libraries near them
  • Ask a Librarian
