For Faculty: Linking to Electronic Reserves (ERes) via Blackboard

September 2nd, 2008 by David Donabedian

Did you know you can link to Electronic Reserves via Blackboard?

Students can access course materials virtually through the library’s Electronic Reserve service (ERes). Faculty may submit photocopies of articles and book chapters to be scanned, or links from Hunter’s online subscription databases, to be placed in ERes. When using ERes, you also have the option of the Libraries verifying the copyright compliance of course materials.

Now, you can also link to your course reserves through Blackboard. This process is fairly easy and can streamline the virtual classroom experience by making readings available just by clicking in the course menu. Using ERes within Blackboard may also serve to ensure the copyright compliance of readings accessible through the course page.

See further instructions at http://library.hunter.cuny.edu/eres/reserve_electronic.htm.

Contact Hannah Alcasid at halcasid@hunter.cuny.edu or 212-772-4175 with questions.

Workshop for Faculty

August 29th, 2008 by Lauren Yannotta

Attention Faculty Members:

In collaboration with the TRC, Brian Lym and I will be conducting a workshop on integrating library resources into Blackboard course sites. The workshop will be help on Wednesday, September 3rd, from 11:00 am – 12:30 pm. You can sign up here: http://www.hunter.cuny.edu/icit/trc/workshops/index.shtml

Below is a description of the workshop:

Integrating library resources and services into a Blackboard course site enhances student learning by connecting them with high quality research resources and to librarians who can help them.  Often students are unfamiliar with the resources available through the library and rely too heavily on the open web to fulfill their information needs.  Connecting students to better resources will foster information literacy and will result in higher quality papers. In this workshop we will train you on how to embed permanent links to items in the CUNY+ library catalog, articles in databases, and more.  You’ll also get an overview of the resources and services available to your students through the Hunter College Libraries.

We hope to see you there!
