TLC Tip of the Week: Adding Library Resource Links in Moodle
When you add a link on your Moodle course page to an article in a library database or to a streaming video, how can you tell if the link will work for students connecting from off-campus? Most library databases offer the option to obtain a persistent or stable URL for individual articles or videos, and many of those persistent URLs are automatically set up to connect through the library’s off-campus access system. However, there are exceptions to every rule, and unfortunately not all library resources provide an easy, off-campus-friendly URL for specific items. Check out the library’s Linking to Online Resources from Moodle web page for tips on finding persistent links to content within your favorite library resources, and for indications of which resources offer grab-and-go friendly links ready to be added to Moodle, and which links need a quick-and-easy edit (with instructions provided) to work from off-campus.
If you have questions about linking to library content from Moodle, or other library-related matters, contact Stephanie Michel at michel@up.edu or x7418.
Scheduling Library and Digital Lab Sessions
Happy New Year from the Clark Library! As spring semester approaches, now is a great time to schedule instructional sessions before the calendar fills up. The Clark Library offers instruction in two areas: information literacy and multimedia skills.
For information literacy, librarians collaborate with faculty to tailor sessions to course content and students’ research needs. The Digital Lab coordinator provides assistance with creating assignments and instructs classes that have multimedia projects such as creating videos, digital posters, digital photography, and websites.
To request an information literacy session for your class, please email preferred dates and times to Stephanie Michel at michel@up.edu. To arrange multimedia instruction, please email José Velazco at velazco@up.edu.
