Put a Subject Guide into Blackboard!

Faculty:

As you make the transition from Angel to Blackboard (Bb), consider including a link to a library "Resources in Your Major" subject guide in your new course shells.  The Guides are mobile-friendly, and can serve as convenient reference points for students. Plus, they are interactive: users can rate resources, post comments or suggest new content.

The library offers Guides for most disciplines taught at USciences with the rest on the way. Send us feedback about the existing guides or let us know which ones you'd like to see next. Access the Guides here: http://guides.library.usciences.edu/FindResources or look for them under the "Find" tab on www.usciences.edu/library.

Questions? Suggestions? Ideas? Feel free to contact us.

Job Hunting?
