Library Content for Vista

Library resources and webpages make great content for online courses. We can also create customized research guides for your courses or provide library instruction by embedding librarians in online courses. Remember, you can always contact one of our subject librarians for help. We look forward to working with you to find innovative and effective content to support your teaching.

 

Course Readings

The library provides an electronic reserves service to help instructors make published materials available to students online without violating copyright laws. Many electronic resources purchased by the library also offer direct links that can be used to post full-text documents on Vista pages or personal websites. For more information about these options, please see the following guides:

Library Guides and Pathfinders

Instructors can link to any resource on the library website. To make sure your students will be able to connect from home, follow these easy steps: right-click on a library link, choose "copy shortcut," and paste it into your course.
