TLC Teaching Tip of the Week: TLC for Library Research

November 20, 2020

Could you (or your students) benefit from some TLC for library research? Reference librarians are available for Zoom or phone consultations to assist UP students, faculty, and staff with their research. Ask us questions about getting started, choosing the best places to search, creating an efficient search strategy, identifying relevant resources, organizing and managing your sources, or citing tricky sources.

To make an appointment to meet with a librarian, go to: http://library.up.edu/meet. Choose an online or phone appointment, then choose your preferred date and time from the online calendar. If the listed times don’t work for you (or for your students who may be in a different time zone), email refererence@up.edu to request an alternate meeting time. Lastly, fill out the brief form to tell us a little bit about you and your research question; both you and the librarian will receive an email confirming the appointment. We look forward to assisting you or your students with your research questions!

For more information contact Stephanie Michel, Clark Library, at x7418 or michel@up.edu.

TLC Tip of the Week: Meet With a Librarian

January 31, 2020

Could students in your classes use some extra assistance with finding good sources for their papers or presentations? Or maybe you would appreciate some literature searching leads for your own research project.  Make an appointment using this link to meet with a librarian!  Appointments are a great way for you or your students to get personalized and focused assistance with a research question. Librarians assist with questions about any aspect of the research process, including: defining a topic, choosing the best places to search, creating effective search strategies, narrowing searches, evaluating sources, accessing full text, and citing sources.

Use the online Make an Appointment system (linked from Get Help/Contact Us and many other library web pages) to see the availability of reference librarians. All the librarians assist with questions in any subject area, or use the blue “i” icon to identify and select a librarian who specializes in your discipline. Next, choose a date and time that works for you, and then fill out a brief form to tell us about your research question. After submitting the form, the appointment is automatically added to the librarian’s calendar, and both you and the librarian will receive an email confirmation.

For more information about the library’s meet with a librarian service, please contact Stephanie Michel (michel@up.edu, x7418). We hope to meet with you or your students soon!

 TLC Tip of the Week: Adding Library Resource Links in Moodle

February 8, 2019

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.
