Studies have shown that students produce better papers when help is provided at the time they are working on a project. A number of colleges have had success with including librarians in course sites. We can provide the following in your Blackboard site:
- Animations of how to use relevant databases
- Resource lists
- Discussion forum for students to ask questions as they do their research
We can create multimedia displays of the best available resources complete
with instructions on the most effective ways to use these resources to find
information. These resources are perfect for the busy class. The online
modules are available for the students whenever they need them, taking some of
the time-consuming frustrations out of academic research. As an example, this
video was created to demonstrate search strategies in databases

If your students are required to do a multimedia presentation,
you can make arrangements for them to use our new
room
with hardware and software needed for creating multimedia projects.
We will provide group and individual instruction as well as instructional videos.
