Integrating Library Resources with Course Management Systems  

Welcome! 

This guide will describe several ways to integrate library resources into your Blackboard or Mentor courses.

Then, click on the tabs to learn more about including specific library resources.

Blackboard

Every Blackboard course contains a "Library Resources Link" (see below), directing your students to some of our basic resources and services.  Students can also chat directly with a librarian from this page, using our chat widget. This is currently available on all course templates.  You do not need to do anything to make these resources available to your students.
